• Assist the Pub Marketing Manager with key campaign deliverables such as photography shoots, promotions, and partnerships, ensuring alignment with brand guidelines.
• Help coordinate consumer research and customer feedback to inform brand plans and identify new growth opportunities.
• Generate brand specific PR in collaboration with the comms team, supporting storytelling and managed house news.
• Work with internal and external teams, including design, print, and digital agencies, to deliver plans in line with the pub marketing strategy.
• Manage timings, communicate key deadlines, and ensure projects are executed as planned.
• Provide light-touch marketing support to our tenanted pub teams, including best practice sharing, campaign support, and attending relevant meetings.

What We’re Looking For:

• A dynamic and organised marketer with experience in both traditional and digital marketing channels.
• Experience in marketing, ideally within the hospitality sector.

• A team player with strong interpersonal skills, actively contributing and building relationships across the business.
• A passion for hospitality and the Great British pub.
• A flexible, hands on approach with a willingness to travel regularly across the South West to work closely with pub teams.
