The initial launch of the website will require approximately 50 to 75 pages (~1,000 to ~3,000 word count per piece) of content. Post launch we will require content for the site and ongoing eNewsletters. Thus, this will be an ongoing continuous assignment.

You’ll also have a portfolio of online articles that have earned a lot of shares on social media.
Finally, we need you to send these four things as a part of your application submission:
