When you're not out and about shooting photos and videos, you'll also get to help the wider marketing function across activities such as paid ads, organising and hosting events (with travel now and then across the country for certain events), and updating websites.

Here's some of the key experience you'll need to demonstrate:

1+ years experience in creating engaging social media content from concept to delivery, considering the company's priorities and aims.
A good understanding of how social media platforms work organically and how to adapt content for paid ads.
Understanding of different audiences and the ability to tailor content to them.

Experience in Hubspot would certainly make you stand out.
