THE ROLE

This is a broad, hands-on marketing assistant role supporting our Marketing Manager across pretty much everything: social, content, product, email, influencer outreach, paid media, reporting, admin, shoot support, brand and community, and our Mortuary store.

You'll take on the doing so our Marketing Manager has more room for strategy, campaigns and the bigger picture. It's varied by design: no two days look the same, and you'll get exposure to every part of how a fashion ecommerce brand markets itself.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Video & Behind-the-Scenes Content

Captures behind-the-scenes video content around shoots, drops, studio life and events, and edits raw footage into short-form content for Instagram, TikTok and other platforms. Works alongside our in-house photographer to spot BTS opportunities on shoot days without disrupting the main shoot, and brings ideas for new video formats and content styles that fit how people actually watch on social.

Campaign Support

Assists with building campaign timelines and rollout plans, and helps make sure campaign assets are ready ahead of launch deadlines. Also supports product launch preparation: dates, assets and comms all sorted before a drop goes live.

Social & Content

Schedules posts across Instagram, TikTok and other platforms, writes captions, and sources and organises content including imagery, video and UGC. Keeps the content calendar up to date, monitors comments, DMs and tagged content, and responds and engages where it makes sense. Also tracks trends and flags anything worth acting on.

Email & App

Prepares imagery and content for email campaigns, and writes and schedules push notifications.

Influencer & Seeding

Researches potential influencers and creators, builds outreach lists, and sends outreach messages. Tracks responses and relationships, coordinates gifting logistics, logs seeding activity, and monitors and reports on influencer performance.

Paid Media Support

Helps prepare assets for paid ads, suggests copy variations, and monitors ad comments and engagement.

Reporting & Admin

Pulls together weekly and monthly reporting across social, email and web. Keeps folders and marketing assets organised in Dropbox, and takes notes in meetings, making sure actions are captured and shared.

Creative Production Support

Supports shoot prep and logistics, and is on hand to help on set, including filming BTS content as things happen.

Brand & Community

Monitors brand mentions, reposts UGC, and supports collaborations and partnerships. Keeps tone of voice consistent across everything that goes out.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Someone with a solid understanding of how to operate across all major social media platforms, and experience with photo and video editing tools. Organised, with a good eye for detail, and comfortable managing several small tasks at once. A proactive, can-do attitude who's happy to pick up a variety of tasks across marketing.

NICE TO HAVE

A good instinct for the Drop Dead brand: alternative, music-rooted, not corporate. An interest in music, alternative fashion or subculture, and previous experience in a fast-paced small team all help too.
