As we continue to grow, we are seeking an enthusiastic and organised Marketing Assistant to support our team in delivering engaging, offline marketing initiatives that strengthen our presence in the community and beyond.

The Opportunity

You’ll play a key role in supporting the planning and delivery of marketing activities across events, promotions, and partnerships throughout Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.

• Assist in planning, coordinating, and executing in-person marketing campaigns and events.
• Support the distribution of marketing materials, including posters, flyers, and branded merchandise.
• Represent the company at events, exhibitions, and community activities.
• Liaise with venues, partners, and suppliers to ensure effective delivery of marketing initiatives.
• Support brand visibility through local partnerships and collaborations.
• Help coordinate photography, signage, and other promotional assets for events.
• Conduct market research and gather feedback from customers and attendees.
• Provide administrative support for the marketing team, including maintaining calendars, contact lists, and campaign records.

Requirements

• A genuine interest in marketing, events, and community engagement.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills; comfortable speaking with people face-to-face.
• Organised and proactive, with a keen eye for detail.
• Ability to work flexibly, including some evenings and weekends to support live campaigns or events.
• A team player with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.
• Competent with Microsoft Office or Google Workspace; familiarity with basic design tools (e.g., Canva) is an advantage but not essential.
• Previous experience in marketing, events, or customer-facing roles is desirable but not required.

Benefits

• A supportive and friendly team environment based in Birmingham.
• Hands-on experience across a wide range of marketing and promotional activities.
• Opportunities for professional development and progression.
• Involvement in exciting projects and local events.
• Travel expenses for off-site work and events.
