Creative Marketing Executive in Barnsley

PitStop are looking for a Creative Marketing Executive to lead our marketing campaigns and actively promote the new and established services we offer. The ideal person will be someone who can do this in unique and creative ways.

If you have the skill set and creative flair to come up with fresh, new and exciting ideas that help more people discover what we do, we really want to hear from you.

The ability to write and produce engaging marketing content is a must, alongside a naturally organised approach to managing our marketing materials and database.

You will create, organise and bring ideas to life, work closely with Leadership and the wider team to develop marketing campaigns, and content that help people remember who we are, and create opportunities for meaningful conversations.

A love of video games is helpful; however, what we're really looking for is someone who can tell compelling stories about our services and showcase what we're capable of.

Experience in marketing is not essential. Creativity, enthusiasm, and flair are key, along with the ability to organise and deliver a wide range of marketing activities.

You'll work closely with Leadership and the wider team, giving you the chance to learn about every part of the business, understand what makes PitStop who we are, and contribute ideas that make a real impact.

So, if you think you have the skills, creativity, and desire to be part of an already successful team, we'd love to hear from you.
