This is a hands‑on role with plenty of creative freedom. You'll work closely with our founder and production team to uncover brilliant stories, showcase the work we're producing and help us reach more of the brands we'd love to work with.

You'll initially focus on LinkedIn, case studies, our website and email marketing. Over time, you'll also help expand our social channels and manage external creative and SEO partners.

LinkedIn & Personal Brand

• Writing engaging LinkedIn posts, sharing company news, creative insights, behind-the-scenes stories and lessons from running a production company.
• Work closely with our founder to develop an authentic, interesting and consistent brand voice.

• Turn completed projects into beautifully presented website case studies, LinkedIn posts and marketing materials.
• Gather project information, behind-the-scenes images, videos, results and client insights.
• Make sure our latest and greatest work is consistently being shared with the world.

Website & Email Marketing

• Take ownership of keeping our website fresh, relevant and up to date.
• Publish new case studies, update service pages and improve how we present our work.
• Plan, write and distribute a monthly marketing newsletter to our network of clients, contacts and prospective customers.

• Coordinate with our London team to capture behind-the-scenes footage, interviews and other social content.

• Have previously recruited or managed SEO agencies, writers or freelance creatives.

What Success Looks Like

• Real creative freedom: You'll have the opportunity to shape how we present ourselves to the world.
• Flexible working: Four days per week, fully remote from Cape Town.
• International collaboration: Work closely with our London-based creative and production teams.
• Build something: Rather than inheriting a huge corporate marketing department, you'll have the opportunity to develop our marketing function and help it grow.
• Long-term opportunity: We’re looking for someone who can grow with the business and take on more responsibility over time.

Applications that demonstrate excellent writing ability and creative judgement will stand out.
