YOU MUST LIVE IN NORTHERN IRELAND CURRENTLY TO APPLY FOR THIS ROLE

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious marketer who wants to build a serious career in digital. You will join two interconnected brands: GEKKOSHOT, our established creative and web agency, and GEKKO1, our AI-first growth division set to scale significantly in 2026. The successful candidate will work across real client accounts, high-visibility campaigns, in-house brand development, and forward-thinking AI-led projects. This is an environment where you will learn quickly, gain broad exposure, and have real responsibility from day one.

About the Role

We are looking for someone organised, confident with digital tools, and committed to producing high-quality work across SEO, content, social media, and day-to-day campaign delivery. You will follow established internal processes while contributing to a high-performing operations workflow that supports both agency and client activity. In addition to the agency responsibilities you will also support one of our consumer-focused internal brands, a fast-growing hospitality and tourism platform operating within the dog-friendly sector. This involves producing content centred on dogs and dog-friendly businesses, engaging with partners and audiences, and contributing to a brand with a strong social presence and monthly reach in the thousands.

Why This Role Stands Out

• You will work across multiple brands, gaining experience far beyond a standard entry-level marketing role.
• You will develop skills in SEO, analytics, editorial content, social strategy, press outreach, Google Business optimisation, and email marketing.
• You will work alongside designers, developers, SEO specialists, and the Operations Manager, learning how a modern digital and AI-led agency runs behind the scenes.
• You will contribute directly to the growth of GEKKO1, our new AI-driven brand entering the market in early 2026.
• This is a structured, well-supported role with clear expectations and monthly deliverables. It suits someone detail-driven, eager to learn, and comfortable managing recurring tasks without losing quality.

  • Ensure accuracy, consistency, and brand alignment across all client and internal websites.
• Social Media Management
  • Build monthly content calendars for social clients and in-house brands.
  • Draft captions, source and organise assets, and schedule content.

  • Support basic engagement monitoring.
• Press & Outreach
  • Assist with press release preparation for agency and client announcements.
  • Maintain distribution lists and support pitching to journalists.
  • Track coverage and manage press asset storage.

• Analytics & Reporting
  • Monitor trends, content performance, and search behaviour.
  • Compile analytics for internal reporting using GA4, Search Console, social insights, and scheduling tools.
• Paid Search
  • Assist with keyword research, ad copy creation, and simple optimisation tasks.
• Team Collaboration
  • Work closely with the Operations Manager, designers, developers, and SEO leads.
  • Support project delivery to ensure deadlines and standards are met.
