Who We Are
We run live events across Bristol and the South West that people actually want to go to. Strike Fan Zone brings the atmosphere of the World Cup to Sawmills in Bristol a purpose-built fan experience for England match days. Alongside that, we operate:
* Feast On Food Festival on the Downs 18k attendees (2025)
* Feast LIVE on the Downs music and performance
* South Glos Food & Drink Festival at Emersons Green 12k attendees (2025)
We’re growing fast across all of these, and we need someone who can make people genuinely excited to show up.
The Role
This is a freelance summer engagement with Strike Fan Zone at its centre but the right person will be able to flex across the broader group. You won’t have a big team behind you. You’ll work directly with leadership, move quickly, and own the output.
We’re looking for someone who thinks commercially, understands live events, and knows how to fill a venue. You’ll be across the full marketing mix, from paid social to PR to on‑ground presence, with a clear line from your activity to tickets sold.
What You’ll Be Doing
Strike Fan Zone (primary focus)
* Building and running the go‑to‑market campaign for England match days at Sawmills
* Driving ticket and hospitality package sales, early bird through to last‑minute push
* Managing paid social (Meta as minimum), organic channels, and email to a local audience
* Working with the team to make the venue feel like the only place to be on match day
* Creating and scheduling content that drives both reach and conversion
* Coordinating with Ops on the ground, marketing has to reflect what’s actually happening
Wider Group Support (as agreed)
* Campaign support across Feast Productions Group and South Glos Events Group events
* Cross‑group audience building, growing databases and repeat attendance across the portfolio
* Flagging and pursuing press and influencer coverage opportunities where relevant
* Feeding into brand consistency across events so everything feels coherent and distinctive
Must-haves
* Proven track record driving attendance or sales for live events, sport, or entertainment brands
* Strong hands‑on digital skills, Meta Ads as a minimum, email, organic social
* Commercially minded: you understand the relationship between spend, reach, and ticket yield
* Able to operate independently with minimal briefing, you interpret intent, not just instructions
* Confident managing content, creative direction, and delivery without a big team
Nice-to-Have
* Experience with sport, fan experiences, or outdoor food/culture events
* PR relationships in Bristol, the South West, or sport/lifestyle media
* Experience with Mailchimp, Meta Business Manager, or similar platforms
* Knowledge on AI agents and how they can build marketing campaigns
* Short‑form video content production or editing
* Comfort with basic analytics and reporting, you track what works and cut what doesn’t
How the Pay Works
Day rate: £150 – £350 depending on experience and scope of engagement.
Sell‑out bonus: paid when an event reaches capacity. The better you perform, the more you earn. We want you incentivised the same way we are.
We’re flexible on how days are structured across campaign peaks and quieter periods. We’re not interested in box‑ticking, we want results.
