Digital Marketing Role

The customers do it all, and so do we. So you’ll have to as well. This means strategy, ideation, content design, implementation and marketing. It means measuring campaigns and making iterations off the back of stats. It means factoring in customer feedback alongside internal company processes.

Whilst we make content, we’re looking for somebody that’s never truly content… with their work that is. If you’re that type, you’ll know what we mean: somebody who doesn’t settle for less. Somebody who seeks out and recommends new ways and innovations. Somebody who continually strives for more. The industry moves fast, we need to move with it. In fact, we should be driving it.

Content is king…

You don’t need to wear a crown, but you’ll need gnarly penmanship skills. Content underpins everything we do. Content always comes first.

Whether it’s a social campaign, website or brochure, content is the chicken… or is that the egg? Either way, you get the drill. Through exemplary content creation and editing, social media input and communication, you will build trusted relationships with clients and the agency team.
