How to Apply for Marketing Associate

at DG+

🏢 About DG+

DG+ is a purpose-driven marketing agency focused exclusively on storytelling for a cleaner future, specializing in clean energy and climate tech. Unlike generic marketing firms, they combine marketing expertise with deep sustainability knowledge to help clients drive real environmental impact. Working here means contributing directly to accelerating the clean energy transition through strategic communications.

About This Role

As a Marketing Associate at DG+, you'll create compelling content across multiple channels while supporting marketing strategies that build brands and grow awareness in the clean energy sector. This role is impactful because you'll help shape narratives that advance sustainability goals and influence key stakeholders in climate tech. You'll work directly with clients and internal teams to translate complex sustainability topics into accessible, engaging content.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a virtual client meeting to discuss content strategy for a solar technology company, followed by drafting a blog post on emerging battery storage solutions. You'd collaborate with DG+ colleagues on a marketing campaign timeline, analyze social media metrics from a recent campaign, and participate in an internal review of a white paper about carbon capture technology—all while working remotely with team members across different time zones.
