We are looking to recruit a dynamic and enthusiastic marketeer to our communications workstream. You will be ahead of the game with all things digital, and know your reel from your grid post. You will be as comfortable engaging in a local Facebook group, as you are creating Tiktok content for one of our summer festivals.

Creating content to engage with our audiences will excite you, and being amazing at writing marketing copy is a must. Being quick off the mark with replies to our varied audiences will be your bread and butter, while the ability to communicate with enthusiasm for our work will be second nature.

You will get to work with a team of comms professionals who work creatively in an ever changing marketing landscape. Our team works across both the arts/cultural and event/festivals sector, meaning there is never a dull moment. Some days we are engaging influencers and creating social media ads, other days writing emails to share our sustainable aims and objectives with stakeholders.

Enjoying nature is a must! You will be working from our rural workspace in Cheshire, and weekly onsite meetings will be part of your role. If you fear a composting toilet, this isn’t the role for you. But if you have a passion for connecting with audiences via digital channels, and want to join a creative team where connection with nature is always on the agenda, then we would love to hear from you!

The Role

You’ll be:

• Devising engaging digital marketing campaigns to reach new audiences and sell tickets to our festivals and events.
• Creating content for a variety of social media channels.
• Producing content which engages our current audiences and attracts new ones.
• Responding to audience facing enquiries.
• Writing emails to a variety of audiences.
• Working with our partners to promote their work during, and in the run up to our events.
• Monitoring social media channels and responding appropriately – this could include some weekend work.
• Evaluating marketing campaigns and implementing new strategies based on findings.
• Co ordinate audience facing comms onsite during our two main summer festivals, and at any other seasonal events Wild Rumpus produce.

We’re looking for:

• At least two years experience of working in marketing.
• A basic understanding of digital marketing processes.
• Creative copywriting skills.
• Ability to use a scheduling tool (meta business suite or planoly/hootsuite etc)
• Some experience of using mailchimp or similar email marketing tool.
• Experience of customer facing comms.
• Ability to work independently, delivering to deadlines.
• Creativity and an ability to work in an agile way, responding to the changing needs of our work and events.
• Ability to create reports using data generated from marketing campaigns.

We’d love to also see:

• Ability to use canva or adobe rush.
• Experience of using Meta ads manager.
• Basic knowledge of wordpress.
• Great with a spreadsheet.
• Experience of writing press releases and creating PR campaigns.
• Video editing for short form promotional assets.

What we can offer:

• Continued professional development in the form of training, and the opportunity to use new skills and try new ways of working.
• An energetic friendly team who work closely together to create amazing marketing campaigns.
• The opportunity to be part of two of the UK’s best summer festivals.
• Work within a team where ideas are welcomed, and new ideas allowed.
• A working environment that challenges the status quo and dreams of a more creative and sustainable future.
• A flexible working pattern.

About Wild Rumpus

Wild Rumpus deepen nature connectedness through a programme of projects including festivals, large-scale events, creative interventions, meaningful partnerships and sector development work. Wild Rumpus work Internationally from their exploratory creation space in an English Woodland. We make and support work, most often in green places, that surprises, inspires and stirs people. From large moments of collective wonder to intimate digital experiences, we invite people to be curious and to look at their relationship with nature with clear eyes and open hearts.

Nature Connectedness

We make and support work that reconnects people with their place in nature. We explore how arts and culture can create meaningful change in how we see our place in the world, rewrite narratives and inspire behaviour change, fuelling hope in the face of climate crisis.

Permission to Play

We create the conditions where people feel free to play. We explore the barriers that prevent people from playing together, and the environments, invitations and provocations that can open the door to free, expressive, wild and joyous play.

Collective Wonder

We create moments where people can gather in collective wonder. We explore how visceral collective experiences, however fleeting, can impact on attitudes and behaviour.

Immersive Environments

We create worlds where people are transported out of their everyday lives. We explore how an altered and coherent physical landscape can immerse people in a place, story or experience, and how that can influence them to think and respond differently to their world.

Location & Work Pattern

We anticipate a mix of working from home and in person at our rural workspace in Scholar Green, Cheshire. We ask part time staff to be in every Tuesday for an in person full team meeting, as well as for key meetings where required. During our live events all staff are expected to work full time both before and after the event.

We work mainly from a woodland and workshops near Scholar Green in Cheshire, ST7 3QJ. The nearest station is Kidsgrove, 10 minutes by bike or 30 minutes walk.
