Marketing Assistant

Job description

We’re looking for a creative and enthusiastic Marketing Assistant to help bring the Bookspeed brand to life. You’ll play a key role in creating and sharing content across social media and email — all while we get ready to launch our brand-new website. From writing posts to snapping photos and sharing videos, you’ll help deliver our content calendar and can contribute your own ideas and take ownership of content projects, all with support from the Marketing Manager to help you grow and develop. It’s a great time to join a growing team and build your marketing skills in a fun, fast-moving environment.

What you will be doing
• Planning, creating and scheduling engaging content across social media and email
• Developing your own content ideas, with the freedom to take the lead
• Supporting customer-focused digital campaigns, including Book of the Month and other series.
• Writing and editing website and promotional copy
• Helping with creative projects, from photoshoots to print materials
• Tracking performance and keeping our marketing materials stocked and up to date
• Assisting with advertising, artwork, and prospect outreach

This is a part-time, permanent role at 30 hours per week. Hybrid working is available, and we’re open to discussing flexible hours or alternative working patterns to suit your needs.

We’d love it if you had…

• A genuine interest in marketing and a desire to build a career in it
• A creative mindset and an eye for good design
• Basic knowledge of marketing principles
• Some experience with Adobe Creative Suite — or keen to learn!
• Able to meet deadlines and stay organised
• Enjoys being hands-on with creative projects

It’s a bonus if you also:
• Have strong writing skills
• Are curious about design, marketing and retail trends
