Are you a marketer who likes to take the lead? From setting the marketing strategy and coming up with creative campaigns to creating content yourself and managing external partners? Then we’re looking for you!
Hemkade 48 is an event venue with a rich history in the Dutch dance scene. We’re constantly evolving and building our own events, concepts and community. To support this growth, we’re looking for an All-round Marketing Manager who can independently manage and further develop our marketing.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for the marketing of our own HEMKADE presents shows. You’ll also be involved in the marketing of our B2B channel, Distrikt Zuyd, as well as the branding and visibility of Hemkade 48 throughout the venue.
You’ll have plenty of responsibility and freedom to shape our marketing. You’re comfortable switching between strategy and execution, keeping track of multiple projects and managing external partners. From launching a campaign for an international artist to creating a new branding activation within the venue: you make it happen.
What will you do?
- Event marketing: You manage the marketing of our HEMKADE presents shows, from the initial launch strategy to the full promotional campaign. This includes creative campaign ideas, ticketing, newsletters, website updates and coordinating promotional activities with bookers and artist agencies.
- Social media & content: You manage our social media channels, content strategy and planning. You create and edit content yourself, turning existing photo and video material from our archive into engaging social content.
- Campaigns & advertising: You develop and oversee online and offline campaigns, manage our advertising partner and monitor results. You analyse audiences and optimise targeting to reach the right people.
- Branding: You brief designers, oversee their work and make sure all campaign visuals are delivered on time and in line with our brand.
- Website & communication: You keep our website up to date with new events, line‑ups and event information, and manage our newsletters and other marketing communications.
- External partnerships: You maintain contact with bookers, artist agencies and external marketing and PR partners to coordinate promotional activities around our shows.
- Other projects: You work on branding and visibility projects throughout the venue and contribute ideas to the marketing of our B2B channel, Distrikt Zuyd.
- Teamwork: You co-supervise our event intern together with a colleague, who can also support you with various marketing tasks.
Who are we looking for?
We’re looking for an independent marketer with experience, a good sense of organisation and plenty of creativity. Someone who doesn’t just come up with plans but knows how to bring them to life. You take ownership of projects, aren’t afraid to make decisions and know how to get different people on board with your ideas. On top of that:
- You have at least 2 years of relevant marketing experience.
- You have experience developing and executing marketing strategies and campaigns.
- You have experience editing photo and video content and know how to turn existing footage into engaging social media content.
- You have a good eye for visuals, storytelling and social media trends.
- Experience with filming and shooting your own content is a plus, but not a requirement.
- You have experience managing external partners and creative teams.
- You have an analytical mindset and know how to evaluate results and optimise campaigns.
- You have strong communication skills and are fluent in both Dutch and English.
- You’re comfortable managing multiple projects at once and know how to prioritise.
- You have an affinity with electronic music, events and nightlife.
What do we offer?
- A competitive salary, depending on your experience.
- 25 days of annual leave (based on a 40‑hour working week).
- Travel allowance.
- Plenty of freedom and responsibility to put your own stamp on our marketing.
- You’ll be part of a young, small and enthusiastic team with short communication lines and an informal working atmosphere.
- Plenty of room for your own ideas, creativity and initiative. We’re open to new perspectives and give you the freedom to actually bring your ideas to life.
- A workplace in a unique venue with a rich musical history.
And perhaps one of the best perks: most of our events take place during the colder months. Things tend to be a little quieter in summer, giving you more flexibility to plan your holidays and enjoy the sunshine.
