Digital Marketing Assistant
Trentham, Stoke-on-Trent | Office-based
£24,784.50 per year | 37.5 hours per week | Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm
Got ideas? Good. We want to hear them.
We’re looking for a Digital Marketing Assistant to join the Marketing Team at Blue Bay Travel – someone curious, creative and full of ideas who wants to build a career doing marketing that gets noticed.
You’ll get stuck into email, social media, website content and paid campaigns, helping us find new ways to inspire customers, grow the Blue Bay brand and, ultimately, sell more brilliant holidays.
And because we’re a travel company, there’s a decent chance looking at pictures of the Maldives counts as work. Someone has to do it.
✨ Marketing that feels like Blue Bay
There are plenty of travel companies shouting about holidays. We want to be the one people remember.
Our marketing should feel like us: warm, useful, creative and full of personality. We’re not interested in doing something just because “that’s how we’ve always done it.”
We want to try things, test things, learn and keep finding better ways to connect with our customers.
That’s where you come in.
What you’ll be doing
Working with our Digital Marketing Manager and wider Marketing Team, you’ll:
- Help create and deliver email, social and paid media campaigns
- Create, schedule and publish content across our digital channels
- Keep our website content fresh and up to date
- Get involved in campaign ideas and creative from the start
- Track results and help us understand what worked, what didn’t and what we should try next
- Keep an eye on competitors, trends and the things making people stop scrolling
- Work with teams across Blue Bay to turn good ideas into great campaigns
You won’t be watching from the sidelines. We want you involved.
What we’re looking for
For us, this role is as much about how you think as what you already know. We’re looking for someone who:
- Is creative and bubbling with ideas, with the confidence to share them
- Is naturally curious and always asking what we could try next
- Is open-minded and enjoys trying different approaches
- Loves working with other people and making ideas better together
- Gets excited about innovation, trends and what’s next
- Is happy to test, learn and adapt
- Has a great eye for detail and takes pride in their work
- Brings energy, enthusiasm and personality to the team
You’ll also need a good grounding in digital marketing, with some understanding of social media, email marketing, SEO, PPC and digital analytics.
Experience with content creation, graphic design, video editing, CMS platforms or marketing automation is a bonus – we don’t expect you to tick every box.
The good stuff
Alongside the opportunity to learn, experiment and develop your marketing career, you’ll get:
- £24,784.50 salary based on 37.5 hours per week
- Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm, based at our Trentham Head Office
- Occasional weekend cover of around 30 minutes from home to keep our marketing activity ticking along
- 30 days’ annual leave, including Bank Holidays, increasing with service
- Travel perks, including free accommodation with selected partners and opportunities to join hosted trips
- Enhanced leave for the moments that matter, plus one paid volunteer day each year
- Enhanced maternity and paternity pay for eligible team members following two years’ continuous service
- Employee Assistance Programme and Mental Health First Aiders
- Ongoing development and opportunities to grow your career within an award-winning travel business
✈️ Think this sounds like you?
Maybe you’ve recently finished a marketing degree or apprenticeship. Maybe you already have some hands-on experience and you’re ready for somewhere you can do more.
Or maybe you’re the person who can’t scroll past an ad, open an email or see a TikTok without wondering why it caught your attention.
If you’re curious, creative, collaborative and ready to get stuck in, we’d love to hear from you.
Applications close Friday 2 October. We’ll review applications as they arrive, so there’s no need to wait until the deadline to send yours in.
We may close the vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications, so don’t leave it too late.
Bring your ideas. Bring your personality. We’ll bring the holidays.
