COPY/CONTENT SEO/AEO PAID ADS
Annual Base Salary Range: $55,000 - $65,000
Hybrid (mostly remote).
WELCOME HOME, SEARCH-SAVVY STORYTELLER.
You're the person who turns ideas into finished work, and makes sure people can actually find it. You write well, edit sharply, and understand how buyers search, whether they're typing into Google or asking an AI tool for a recommendation. You know how to use AI to move faster without handing it your judgment. You drive the tool. You don't let it think for you.
At Hughes Integrated, our Marketing Consultants build strong strategy for clients. We're looking for a Content Marketing Specialist to turn that strategy into excellent finished marketing and real search visibility: website copy, emails, digital ads, landing pages, and content built to rank on Google, show up in AI answers, and reach right-fit prospects. You'll own hands-on SEO and AEO work, from keyword research to on-page updates, and you'll sit in on client messaging and strategy sessions, contribute your perspective, and grow toward leading that work over time.
We're a team of Marketers, Creatives, Project Managers, and Visionaries who own our results and bring our A-game every day.
We're guided by these core values:
Relationships First: Valuing authentic connections and a supportive, drama-free workplace.
Continuous Growth: Committed to ongoing self-improvement, learning, and innovation.
Strategic Focus: Operating from a deep understanding of the bigger picture.
Know Your Stuff: “Be the Guide” with empathy and authority proven in your field of discipline.
Proactive Problem Solver: Bringing creative ideas to solve any challenges that arise.
We’d love to have you on the team.

Content Specialist Jobs in Michigan: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a content specialist in Michigan?
Most content specialist roles in Michigan require a bachelor's degree in communications, marketing, English, or journalism, with no state-issued license needed for the role itself. Building a portfolio of published work is the most important step alongside your degree. Michigan's large automotive, healthcare, and university sectors favor candidates who can demonstrate industry-specific writing, so tailoring samples to those verticals strengthens your application considerably.
Which companies hire content specialists in Michigan?
Employers hiring content specialists in Michigan right now include Vail Resorts, The University of Michigan, and Dentsu, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Michigan's concentration of automotive brands, regional health systems, and large insurers means ongoing demand for specialists who can write technical, patient-facing, or product content across industries.
Which Michigan cities have the most content specialist jobs?
Michigan, Detroit, and Traverse City have the most content specialist openings in Michigan. Detroit leads because of its dense concentration of corporate headquarters, automotive brands, and agencies, while Grand Rapids draws hiring from its growing healthcare and manufacturing sectors and Ann Arbor benefits from the University of Michigan and its surrounding research and tech ecosystem.
Are there remote content specialist jobs in Michigan?
Yes, and more than most fields. Content creation, editing, and digital strategy are well suited to remote work, and about 56% of content specialist openings tied to Michigan are remote or hybrid as of October 2026. SEO content, social media management, and copywriting roles tend to be the most consistently remote, while roles involving studio production or on-site brand events lean toward hybrid or in-person arrangements.
How can I get hired as a content specialist in Michigan with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is building a portfolio through freelance projects, campus media, or volunteer content work before applying to coordinator or associate content roles. Michigan's large health systems, university communications departments, and automotive marketing teams regularly hire entry-level writers and content associates. Moving laterally from a social media assistant or marketing coordinator role is also common. A strong writing portfolio, even from non-paid work, carries more weight in Michigan hiring than certifications alone.
Where can I find and apply to content specialist jobs in Michigan?
You can find and apply to content specialist jobs in Michigan on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the available roles, identify the ones that match your background and target industry, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
