We are looking for a Design & Marketing freelancer to deliver Illyria’s marketing activity across the touring season.

 

This is a wide-ranging role that would particularly suit a design professional with additional marketing expertise (or vice versa).

 

You’ll manage Illyria’s website, social media, and email newsletters to engage and grow audiences; build relationships with press; and empower venues to run effective campaigns.

​

You’ll also design a wide range of multimedia content in support of these activities – co-ordinating with staff, cast members, and venues to help make this happen.​

​

This role is built around short, regular bursts of work across the year (rather than continuous full-time hours), so might suit a freelancer building a varied career portfolio and looking for work that fits comfortably around other clients.

​

In particular, this role might suit:

• Somebody with a proven track record in content creation who is looking to grow into a marketing-focussed role (or vice versa)

• Somebody excited by the chance to take ownership of a marketing function within a small but impactful arts organisation.

 

You'll ensure:

• Marketing assets are produced, adapted and exported at pace and quality

• Venues have timely access to the support and materials they need

• Illyria’s website remains accurate and drives sales

• Audiences receive regular email and social media communications

• Audience engagement data is tracked and recorded

• Cast members are encouraged to have proportional involvement in marketing/press activity

• Press and reviewer relationships are actively maintained/developed.

 

Taken together, this work will entice audiences to experience Illyria for themselves. And, when seen by those managing venues/outdoor spaces, it will act as a signal of quality – communicating who we are and encouraging new venues to book an Illyria performance.

 

Everything you produce, whoever it’s for, should champion Illyria’s values, reputation, and legacy: reaching new audiences, getting noticed by industry peers, demonstrating to venues the high quality of our work – and attracting them to work with us.

​

This is a flexible, freelance position. The successful candidate will be responsible for their own tax and National Insurance contributions.
