Marketing Manager
£25000 - £30000 depending on experience
Canterbury, Kent
Canterbury Festival
The Canterbury Festival, Kent’s International Arts Festival, is an annual multi arts event showcasing the best in local, national and international performance. While the Festival takes place over 2 – 3 weeks in late October, the team is employed year-round in community arts activity, building audiences and developing partnerships to promote the arts in Kent.
We are seeking an experienced and entrepreneurial Marketing Manager to play a key role in the Festival’s transition from a subsidised to a commercial business model. The Festival is exploring the potential of operating its own box office so experience of computerised ticketing systems and management of customer data are essential. As customer communications become increasingly digital, competence in website management and social media platforms is crucial. Balancing this with traditional print to retain core audiences while building new, is key. Experience of competitive pricing and the ability to sell tickets is paramount.
The role involves contributing to strategy and delivery of events nightly during the Festival, and on occasional evenings and weekends throughout the year.
Applicants must have previous marketing experience in an arts, events, charitable, or related environment and experience of box office systems. Knowledge of the arts is desirable. They must possess a keen eye for detail, excellent copywriting & oral communication skills, basic design skills and the ability to present in public. Managerial, budgetary and networking skills are also highly desirable. Accuracy and organisational ability are of paramount importance.
The ideal start date is on or before 1 April 2019.
