The role involves supporting the Commercial and Marketing Manager in the creation and implementation of the marketing strategy for Innovation Visual. It includes development of written content, work on social media, writing for web, research, email marketing, planning and some design.

You will play a key role in the day-to-day implementation of that marketing strategy.

You will take day-to-day responsibility for the company’s social media. Researching and creating posts and images designed to promote the business, share knowledge and drive measurable engagement.
You will also be involved in the company’s email marketing, using platforms such as HubSpot (full training will be provided).
You will be responsible for liaising with the team to make sure that the company blog remains current and interesting. You will prepare some content yourself, but other pieces you will need to work with your team members to prepare.
You will support the Commercial & Marketing Manager to devise, plan and implement campaigns that are commonly designed to target a specific segment of our target market and drive traffic to the site with the aim of generating conversions and leads for the sales team to pursue.
You will be responsible for background research on some leads (Companies that enquire about or indicate interest in our services), designed to support the sales team in their efforts.
You will also help maintain the quality and completeness of our CRM data.
