Venue Marketing Executive | New Theatre | Full Time
New Theatre Cardiff
New Theatre Cardiff opened its doors in 1906! It has established itself as Wales' leading live entertainment venue, with a wide array of top-quality musicals, drama, comedy, dance, family shows, one-night events, and pantomime.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
The Venue Marketing Executive is vital in embedding our venues within their local catchment area and supporting onsite delivery of marketing activity. The Venue Marketing Executive liaises with the central Trafalgar Entertainment campaigns and content teams to deliver our internal marketing strategy.
As a Venue Marketing Executive, you’ll:
- Take responsibility for the promotion of the venue and the development of strong ties with local audiences (current and potential) and local business partners
- Organise press nights, membership events, season launches and open days to showcase the venue to potential audiences, taking the Press and PR lead for all events and productions.
- Be responsible for generating and maintaining excellent relationships with organisations in the catchment for the commercial benefit of the venue
- Be responsible for ensuring that on-site print collateral and digital sites are updated and carry relevant information to audiences attending, and that exit leafletting, distribution and regular poster changes are carried out
- Manage and develop campaigns for locally programmed hires and community productions.
The role reports to the Theatre Director and has positive collaborative relationships with others across Trafalgar Entertainment (including the Campaign and Marketing Services team) and with third parties across the sector.
ABOUT YOU
You’ll be passionate and enthusiastic about theatre, live events and entertainment. Self-motivated and equipped with excellent interpersonal skills, you’ll also need a creative ‘can-do’ approach to your work and an ability to juggle multiple priorities simultaneously.
Personable, upbeat and professional, you’ll be as comfortable requesting a backstage interview with a major artiste as directing other members of staff to exit leaflet at the end of the show.
You’ll also be comfortable acting as a key point of contact within the local business community, attending meetings and events to champion the venue's work and developing positive relationships with others.
