Seeking Marketing Associate

Stuff and Nonsense Theatre Company seek a Marketing Associate (freelance) to support our mission to use live performance, creativity and imagination to bring children and adults together, to learn and to inspire each other.

This is a fantastic, wide-ranging arts marketing role of approx. one-day per week. It will best suit someone who:

• has strong experience/interest in touring, social media and relationship building,
• works well autonomously, with the support of an inspiring and experienced team, and
• is able to prioritise and problem-solve.

The company are experienced in remote working, so encourage applications from across the UK as well as from their home in South West England.

Since 2015 we have toured 11 different productions to 136 venues across the UK. We have delivered 1,047 live performances and sold 156,229 tickets. We have key partnerships with South West regional venues: The Point, Eastleigh, Theatre Royal Plymouth, Lighthouse, Poole and The Octagon, Yeovil.

We have toured many well-known titles, which we adapt to make relevant to the lives of children today. We reach families who are not normally theatre attenders with theatrical, imaginative and surprising experiences. All our shows are created alongside children. Child-centred practice is one of our areas of expertise and is a fruitful and challenging way of exploring ideas.

The post holder will be responsible for leading the planning, development, implementation and evaluation of marketing, communications and audience development strategies. They will work strategically and proactively to build strong relationships with audiences, funders, partners, the media and other stakeholders. The post holder will devise and deliver campaigns and take the lead in monitoring, evaluation and communication of the organisation’s impact.

We work to find ways to make our working lives wonderful and to find joy in the work, in each other and believe in kindness, respect, friendship and community. We work as a strong team and with great energy. We are serious in our intention to create the best theatre – it is not dumbed down for children; it is challenging and no different from creating work for ourselves as adults.
