I'm supporting a client based in Colchester, who are looking for a proactive and creative Marketing Assistant to join their growing team. This is a hands-on role that offers plenty of variety and the opportunity to make a real impact.
You'll play a key part in delivering marketing activity across digital channels, campaigns, partnerships, PR, and events, helping to bring our brand to life and support business growth.
Working closely with the PR & Marketing Manager, you'll take ownership of day-to-day marketing execution, ensuring campaigns are delivered effectively, consistently, and to a high standard. You'll help drive brand awareness, generate inbound leads, support strategic partnerships, and contribute to the continued growth of the business as we expand into new markets and sectors.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their marketing career in a fast-paced, ambitious organisation where no two days are the same.
