This is a hands-on role for someone who is socially savvy and lives and breathes content, with strong creative instincts, sound digital marketing knowledge, and the ability to create reactive, trend-led content as well as planned campaigns that resonate with audiences and drive awareness, visits, enquiries and bookings. 

Experience in hospitality, visitor attractions, heritage, events or estate venues would be an advantage, but is not essential.

  • Help manage day-to-day activity across social platforms, including community management and audience engagement. 
  • Capture content on-site, including events, seasonal activity, behind-the-scenes moments and visitor experience. 
  • Maintain an organised bank of images, video, templates and approved messaging. 
  • Keep website pages, event listings and practical visitor information up to date. 

Campaigns, paid media and reporting 

  • Support marketing campaigns across organic social, email, web and paid advertising. 
  • Assist with paid campaigns across Meta, Google and other relevant platforms, including creative preparation, testing, monitoring and basic optimisation. 
  • Assist in the preparation and deployment of newsletters, event emails and follow-up communications. 
  • Monitor performance across social, email, website and paid channels. 
  • Compile regular reports on reach, engagement, traffic, enquiries, bookings, conversions and campaign performance. 
  • Help connect marketing activity with ticket sales, visitor numbers, online shop activity and revenue where possible. 

Events, promotions and partnerships 

  • Support the promotion of events, exhibitions, visitor experiences, membership, retail, cafe and seasonal campaigns. 
  • Prepare marketing materials for events and campaigns, including social posts, email content, website listings, signage and print. 
  • Coordinate information, assets and deadlines with internal teams, partners, artists, organisers and suppliers. 
  • Assist with launches, open days, photocalls, media visits and on-site content capture. 
  • Maintain external listings across tourism, cultural and community platforms. 

PR, design and marketing support 

  • Adapt templates and prepare basic marketing materials such as posters, flyers, signage, digital screens and social graphics. 
  • Support press activity by preparing approved press releases, images, captions and media information. 
  • Liaise with printers, suppliers and external partners where needed. 
  • Maintain marketing calendars, trackers, folders, contact lists and campaign records. 
  • Help prepare internal marketing updates, dashboards and summary reports. 

Brand and visitor communications 

  • Help ensure all communications are accurate, on-brand and consistent across channels. 
  • Support routine visitor messaging, including opening hours, closures, access updates and frequently asked questions. 
  • Help communicate Russborough’s wider story, including its heritage, collections, landscape, charitable purpose and public programme. 
  • Research and develop content ideas that can be used across social media, email, website and campaign activity.

Desirable experience 

  • Experience in hospitality, heritage, tourism, events, weddings or visitor attractions. 
  • Familiarity with content management systems, email platforms and analytics tools. 
  • Experience supporting events, PR, listings, print production or campaign coordination.
