Working as part of our small Brand and Marketing team you'll support the Brand and Marketing Manager and be involved in the full marketing mix, from early-stage messaging and customer journey work, to coordinating events and creating and reporting on successful digital campaigns. It's a varied role; every week you'll help drive app downloads with excellent social ads and build engagement on social media with exciting and imaginative content; plan and execute creative marketing activities; and build a brand that moves minds and promotes nature and wellbeing. There's exceptional creative work and big ideas, as well as technical aspects and the nitty-gritty of implementing and optimising great campaigns too. We're looking for someone with previous marketing experience who can slot right in and get going straight away. You don't need to have worked in the music or wellbeing sectors before, but we'd like you to have strong digital knowledge, and understand what makes good content and comms. This isn't a normal office job, it's a chance to help build something from the ground up and be part of something that does real good for people and the world. As a company, we practice what we preach. Every day our app will help people feel happy and positive through music and sounds from nature, and we're helping to rebuild the world's natural ecosystems while they listen. We've built our office in this image and have created a calm and relaxing place to work with table tennis, a pool table, chillout areas and of course plenty of plants! You'll be able to take advantage of numerous company benefits including free lunches and excellent development opportunities. We're a young and creative team with big plans and lots of potential. This is just the start of the journey and we're looking for someone who wants to further their career and build a future with us.
