At Ridgemount we LOVE buildings. We think that the construction sector, responsible for our homes, cities, infrastructure and workplaces, makes an enormous contribution to the quality of every one of our lives. We are not apologetic about this, and all of us share an interest in and a passion for the built environment.That’s the industry we’re in. We talk about products and we represent manufacturers, but we also talk about the impact of our buildings on the environment, on our economic success and the welfare of our population. There are big themes to consider and everyone who works for Ridgemount needs to be interested in how this complex and multi-dimensional industry works.As an agency we are developing fast. With our roots in media relations, our reputation is based on being the best content-writers in our field. Over the last two years we have expanded rapidly from media relations and now we focus much more on digital techniques to get our content into the hands of the right people.

A confident, curious and ambitious account executive who really wants to get stuck into their clients’ business, understanding their markets and their customers as well as getting to grips with the products.You will LOVE to write. We write loads. Magazine features, opinion pieces, blogs, website copy and social media content. Scripts for videos, content for podcasts, case studies that resonate and sales copy that persuades. You’ll be happy to research your subject and comfortable with interviewing people to get the story. You’ll understand how to tailor your style to appeal to different audiences and you’ll enjoy getting under the skin of your clients to really make the most of what they have to say.Strong writing skills are the starting point, but that’s not all there is to providing an all-round service to clients.
