* Collaborate with the design and content teams to create appealing and engaging marketing materials.

* Write and optimize content for the website, blogs, email campaigns, and other digital media.

* Ensure consistency of brand messaging across all marketing materials.

* Manage relationships with influencers, partners, and external content creators.

* Plan, execute, and manage digital marketing campaigns across various channels, including social media, email, and paid ads.

* Collaborate with internal teams to ensure cohesive marketing strategies.

* Ensure that all marketing efforts align with the brand’s tone, style, and values.

* Monitor brand mentions, online reviews, and feedback, responding appropriately to maintain a positive reputation.

* Assist in the development of the overall marketing strategy to increase brand awareness and lead generation.

* Conduct market research and competitor analysis to identify new marketing opportunities.

* Collaborate with sales teams to develop targeted marketing approaches to attract potential customers.

* Take the lead for organising events & exhibitions, including attending to promote the company (UK-based, a handful each year currently)

Requirements

* Formal qualification(s) in Marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field.

* Proven experience as a Marketing Manager, Social Media Manager, or similar role.
