Social Media & Digital Marketing Executive – On-Site (Exeter HQ)
Location: Exeter, UK | Full-Time, In-House Only with some international travel
Driving licence preferred. Remote applicants will not be considered.
This is not your average “run the socials” job.
Tide Media is the leading creative agency for the marine industry, also covering other verticals such as motorsport, automotive and outdoor brands — we’re looking for a strategic, experienced social and digital marketer to join our Exeter-based team.
If you’re already managing content calendars, advising on growth strategies, and tailoring tone of voice across multiple brands — this could be the career step you’ve been looking for.
We want someone who understands more than just trends. Someone who sees the big picture: audience engagement, commercial goals, and what truly moves the needle on social. You’ll be embedded in our award-winning production studio, working alongside editors, creatives, our marketing and brand teams to bring campaigns to life — with measurable impact.
What You’ll Do:
* Manage social media for multiple brands – across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X
* Oversee daily content output – from publishing to community engagement, always on-brand
* Strategically plan and maintain social calendars – spotting opportunities and optimising timing, format, and copy
* Actively monitor performance – providing insight reports, refining strategy, and spotting platform shifts
* Work directly with creatives – aligning visual content with wider campaign goals
* Support email and direct marketing – via Mailchimp, WhatsApp Business, and other tools
* Ensure consistency in brand tone and quality – across every post, message and interaction
* Stay on top of platform trends – and understand how they apply (or don’t) to each brand we work with
What We’re Looking For:
* A proven track record in agency-side social/digital marketing or in-house managing multiple accounts
* Experience in content strategy, campaign execution, and community management
* Strong understanding of tone of voice, audience targeting, and brand positioning
* Professional-level written English, with excellent spelling and grammar
* Working knowledge of Meta Business Suite, Mailchimp, Later/Buffer, and platforms like Canva or Adobe Creative Suite
* A sharp eye for content performance and how to improve it using insight and analytics
* Ideally, a background working with automotive, marine, sport or lifestyle brands
* Confidence working in a fast-moving studio environment with direct exposure to clients and production teams
Who You’ll Work With:
You’ll be part of an ambitious, close-knit squad at Tide HQ in Exeter — collaborating with videographers, editors, and brand strategists to produce campaigns for high-end clients across the UK, Europe and the US.
Why Join Tide Media?

From high-performance marine shoots to motorsport campaigns, this is a chance to grow your career in a creative, strategic and supportive environment — with global clients and real impact.
