Job Title: Head of Creative Marketing, Communications & Brand
Location: Emerald Street, Holborn, London
Contract Type: Full Time
Term: Permanent
Start Date: ASAP
Reports to: Head of Podcast Strategy, CEO
ABOUT NOVEL
We make podcasts that are texturally rich and imaginatively fluid. We specialise in investigative and narrative documentary storytelling, but we’re also interested in comedy, politics, sport and scripted. We make shows that have intellectual bite and emotional heft. We care about awards, but care more about attracting audiences who can’t get enough of what we do. We’re fiercely commercially focused as well as fiercely creative. We think about our industry and the world differently and we’re looking for people who do the same.
From being a team of five before the pandemic, we now employ over 50 people full-time. Our staff now includes Julie Shapiro (Third Coast, Radiotopia), Austin Mitchell (NYT, Gimlet), Mythili Rao (The Guardian, WNYC) and Neil Krishnan (NBC, Universal), and we’ve hired other top talent from some of the world’s leading media organisations. We’re all about excellence, and we want the very best people to work with us.
ABOUT THE JOBNext year we’ll launch the Novel Originals network, which will bring our brand directly to listeners under our own name. As we take this major new step, we need to have a marketing strategy that’s equally ambitious. Just as fun, just as smart, just as curious, just as brave. We have a sense of our brand identity , but we’ve grown fast and it’s spread across a wide variety of shows covering a broad range of topics. We’re looking for someone to look and listen to what we do, distil who we are, and communicate that to a big audience as part of our ambitious commercial strategy. We want someone who sees what makes Novel unique and who gets what we’re about, then shouts that from the rooftops. Perhaps it’s helpful to list some brands we admire: Factory, Warp, PC Music; A24, Criterion Collection, Neon; Taschen, the LRB, McSweeney’s. Different as these all are, these brands are entirely themselves. And all of them have broad and devoted fan bases who love what they do and can’t get enough. How can we be, and do, the same? The heart of this job is coming up with big, imaginative campaigns, flawlessly executed, that stamp Novel on the popular imagination. We want to get ahead by being smarter, and by forging genuine, lasting connections with the people who consume our content. Do we want to do events? Merch? Books? Prints? Nothing is off the table. If you can convince us, we’ll find a way to make it work. Let’s take some risks and make some noise.
