* Collaborate with the branding agency to enhance the brand's identity across all channels.
* Develop and execute innovative campaigns, both online and offline.
* Drive consumer loyalty and business credibility with partners.
* Oversee all online activities, ensuring a brand-first approach in content, CRM, SEO, and social media.
* Manage marketing budgets and external partnerships to achieve impactful results.
* Lay the groundwork for a future marketing team, with junior hires as the business expands.
Who you are:
* Proven experience in scaling a UK lifestyle.
* First-hand experience in a high-growth business environment.
* Extensive marketing network for immediate activation.
* Hands-on with the ability to lead strategically and execute tactically.
* Experience in D2C and B2B marketing, with exposure to subscriptions and hospitality/commercial sectors.
* Strong commercial acumen with a focus on budgets, ROI, and growth-driven marketing.
* Highly driven, ready to take ownership, with a desire to leave a lasting legacy.
Bonus Points
* Energetic, collaborative, and enthusiastic to join a diverse team.
* Willingness to engage in tasks of any size, from strategy to execution.
* Excited by the opportunity to shape and build from the ground up.
* Experience in retail/marketplace and omni-channel marketing.
* Proficient with tools like Shopify, Klaviyo/CRM, GA4, ad platforms, and growth tools.
* Successful track record in building and managing teams.
