The Marketing Assistant will assist with the delivery of the theatre's strategic marketing campaign alongside the Head of Marketing and the Graphic Designer, whilst also working directly with incoming performing companies. Whilst their remit features a wide range of responsibilities, it includes a strong focus on digital marketing - with experience of social media being essential.

They will work across the three core elements of the theatre's marketing campaign in both London and at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe: venue, organisation and productions.

They will lead on delivering the Pleasance's social media marketing strategy across Facebook, Instagram, X, Bluesky and TikTok, including organic and paid content, working both independently and in association with visiting companies. They must be prepared to pitch exciting and engaging content ideas, with the ability to see each idea through from the beginning to the final end result. They must be comfortable working out and about, on their own, and on their feet for prolonged periods of time. They need a good eye for identifying high performing content and must be able to turn each idea around within a short space of time, to maximise the impact of current social trends. A good sense of humour is a must, particularly when promoting comedy content.

As part of the Pleasance's campaign at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Marketing Assistant oversees a small team of Digital Content Creators to enhance the organisation's digital promotional output during this peak season.

The ideal candidate will be well organised and highly personable, engaging with companies, audiences and the team with the friendly, can-do attitude the Pleasance is known for.

The Marketing Assistant is based in London year-round and will relocate to Edinburgh for the Festival Fringe in August. They must be prepared to have flexibility with their working hours. There is potential to work up to two days per week remotely.
