You won’t just plan it out, you’ll make it happen and make it great. You’ll be a pioneer for the new strategy, demonstrating the value digital marketing can have on our business, delivering impressive return on investments, and getting others as excited about this new journey it as you are. We already have the raw materials: the consumer data, the great story, the heritage brand, you’ll have the tools and the expertise to bring together through world-class creative execution and digital excellence.
About you
You’ll come to us from an impressive background in digital marketing for luxury, premium or FMCG brands. Commercially focused and with a creative eye, you’ve a successful track record of building brands and delivering clever campaigns internationally – it’s something you thrive on. With relevant experience of the Asia-Pacific region, you see the incredible opportunities the region has to offer a British brand and you also understand the differences and challenges that the market presents. But you know all the tricks of the trade when it comes to wowing customers and really getting them talking. And you’ve all the right tools for the job: an extensive and in-depth knowledge of CRM systems, email service providers, acquisition channels, data suppliers and web development lifecycle.
But this role’s about more than just technical skills. We’re looking for a leader, someone who has the impact and credibility to create a digital marketing strategy for this new, emerging market. A real self-starter who can overcome challenges and appreciate international differences. Balancing creativity with proactivity, you’ll use your project management skills to transform your big ideas into successful campaigns. As well as engaging our consumers, you’ll be able to engage our employees, influence key stakeholders and get them involved in the digital marketing journey. But that shouldn’t be hard with your infectious enthusiasm and captivating communication skills.
