Job description

We’re looking for a creative, curious and proactive Digital Marketing Content Creator to bring Firstsite’s programme and story to life online.

From exhibitions and screenings to family activities, events and our shop, café and venue hire, you’ll create compelling digital content that captures the energy of what we do and inspires people to visit, take part, book, donate and connect with Firstsite.

Working across photography, video and social media, you’ll use creative storytelling, audience insight and digital best practice to reach and engage new and existing audiences. You’ll also track and analyse campaign performance, helping us understand what resonates with our audiences and shape impactful marketing activity across our vibrant venue and digital platforms.

We're looking for someone who lives and breathes social media – someone who has a strong eye for visual storytelling, keeps up with the latest trends, understands what makes people stop scrolling, and is excited to experiment with new formats and ideas.

This is an exciting opportunity to develop your career within a dynamic contemporary arts environment, working across a diverse programme of exhibitions, culture, events and commercial activity.

If you’re passionate about creativity, enjoy making engaging content and want to help more people discover and experience the arts, we’d love to hear from you.

The Digital Marketing Content Creator will report to the Marketing Manager and collaborate closely with teams across Firstsite to deliver cohesive, high-impact marketing in line with agreed strategies and audience plans.
