Job description

Job duration Full-time

The role

This role is suited to someone in the early stages of their marketing career who wants to gain broader agency experience across content, social media, email, websites, SEO support, reporting and campaign coordination.

You will work closely with the Senior Marketing Executive, Head of Marketing, Account Leads and wider delivery team to help keep marketing activity organised, accurate and moving forward.

This is a hands-on support role. You will not be expected to lead strategy or manage complex client accounts independently, but you will be expected to follow briefs carefully, take ownership of assigned tasks, ask questions early and apply feedback as you develop.

The opportunity

At Root Fifty-Two, marketing activity often brings together content, design, digital, development, performance and client strategy.

This role gives you the opportunity to learn how those areas connect in a busy agency environment. You will support the team with practical delivery tasks, helping prepare content, organise campaign activity, update marketing materials, support reporting and contribute to the smooth running of retained client work.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to build strong marketing foundations, gain experience across different sectors and develop into a more confident, capable and rounded marketer over time.

Whatyou’llbe working on

• Support the delivery of marketing activity across retained client accounts
• Work from agreed briefs, plans and content calendars
• Draft and prepare content for review, including social posts, emails, blog content and website copy
• Help schedule and publish approved content across relevant platforms
• Repurpose approved content across different formats and channels
• Proofread, format and check work before review
• Help organise campaign assets, content plans, schedules and internal trackers

Website, SEO & Digital Support

• Support website content updates, optimisation, blog uploads and basic page formatting
• Support keyword, competitor and campaign research where required
• Help prepare content for website pages, landing pages and email campaigns
• Develop an understanding of how SEO, paid media, user journey and performance insight influence marketing activity

Reporting & Coordination

• Support the preparation of monthly reports and campaign updates
• Collect and organise information from relevant marketing platforms
• Help turn performance information into clear notes or draft observations for review
• Keep assigned tasks updated and visible to the relevant team members
• Support internal communication around deadlines, assets, approvals and outstanding actions

What we’re looking for

• Some experience in a marketing, content, social media, digital or communications role
• A genuine interest in developing as a broader marketer
• Strong organisation and attention to detail
• Comfortable writing, editing and preparing content for different channels
• Basic understanding of social media, email marketing, websites, SEO and digital campaigns
• Willingness to learn new tools, platforms and processes
• Ability to manage multiple tasks with support
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
• A proactive attitude and willingness to take feedback

What success looks like

• Assigned marketing tasks are completed accurately and on time
• Content and campaign materials are well organised and ready for review
• Social, email, website and campaign outputs are prepared carefully and consistently
• Reports and campaign updates are supported with clear, organised information
• Questions, blockers and missing information are raised early
• Feedback is applied and visible improvement is shown over time
• The Senior Marketing Executive and Head of Marketing have stronger support across day-to-day delivery

Skills & Experience

• Around 6 months to 2 years’ experience in a marketing, content, social media, digital or communications role would be beneficial
• Agency experience would be useful, but is not essential
• Experience supporting content for social media, email, blogs or websites
• Basic understanding of SEO and digital marketing
• Familiarity with tools such as Google Analytics, Search Console, WordPress, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Meta Business Suite, LinkedIn or similar platforms would be beneficial
• Good proofreading, formatting and copy preparation skills

For the right person, this is an opportunity to grow within a supportive and ambitious team, develop your confidence across multiple marketing disciplines and become a valued part of how marketing is delivered across the agency.

• Be part of a forward-thinking agency with a collaborative, values-driven culture.
• Work alongside a passionate, multi-disciplinary team.

What’s in it for you…

Hybrid & flexitime working

Our working week is 35.5 hours, and the core hours are 10:00 – 16:00, so you can start and finish whenever you want, provided you’re working during those hours. Friday’s also have the bonus of being able to finish at 15:30.At least one day a week can be spent working in the comfort of your own home.

Time off

The role comes with 28 days of holiday (inclusive of bank holidays), plus for every year of your services your holiday allowance increases by a day. You also get an additional day off on your birthday to celebrate (or mourn) being a year older.

Our canal-side studio smack bang in the middle of Burnley has areas for both collaborative work or some quiet time, and a beer fridge and dart board. There is also on-site car parking available.

Our culture of growth and progression comes with your own personal budget for training, allowing you to learn something new, get better at what you’re already good at, or improve your soft skills like public speaking.

Away from your desk

We have regular team lunches, walking meetings, quarterly days away, and random nights out, especially as the weather gets nicer.

This role is perfect if you want to work in a fast-paced, creative agency where no two days are the same.
