Junior Marketing Executive
**Salary:** £28,000 per annum + expenses and meals while working on site
**Location:** On-site across Blue Jasmine, Southampton & Baccello, Christchurch
**Type:** Full-time
**Working pattern:** Predominantly weekdays, with some evening and weekend work required around events, campaigns and key trading periods
## About the Role
We are looking for an energetic and ambitious **Junior Marketing Executive** to support the day-to-day marketing of two independent hospitality brands: **Blue Jasmine in Southampton** and **Baccello in Christchurch**.
This is a hands-on, varied role and a great opportunity for someone at the beginning of their marketing career who wants to gain broad, practical experience rather than sit within one narrow area of marketing.
You’ll work closely with the wider team to keep our social channels active, execute email campaigns, support events and promotions, coordinate marketing activity and help bring new ideas to life.
No two weeks will look exactly the same. We’re looking for someone who enjoys that.
## Key Responsibilities
* Manage day-to-day **social media posting and scheduling** across our brands
* Help maintain and execute the **social media content calendar**
* Write and adapt captions, promotional copy and other customer-facing content
* Support the creation and delivery of **email marketing campaigns**
* Coordinate marketing activity around new menus, offers, events and seasonal campaigns
* Assist with gathering photography, video and other content from the venues
* Work with the team to make sure campaigns are executed correctly both **online and in the venues**
* Support event marketing, launches, tastings, collaborations and other activations
* Help coordinate influencers, creators, local partners and other marketing opportunities
* Update website, listings and digital channels when required
* Assist with basic campaign reporting and reviewing performance
* Carry out a wide variety of **ad hoc marketing tasks** as priorities and opportunities arise
* Spend time within both venues to understand the customer experience and identify new marketing opportunities
## About You
We’re more interested in your attitude, energy and potential than years of experience.
You will ideally be:
* At the beginning of your career in marketing, communications, social media or a related field
* Comfortable using Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and other social platforms
* A confident and natural communicator
* Able to write clear, engaging copy
* Organised and able to manage multiple small projects and deadlines
* Comfortable working independently as well as part of a team
* Quick to learn new platforms and systems
* Confident approaching people and able to **build rapport quickly**
* Flexible and willing to help wherever needed
* Proactive rather than waiting to be given every task
* Energetic, positive and commercially aware
* Someone with an **entrepreneurial spirit** who enjoys spotting opportunities and making things happen
Hospitality, food, wine, events, lifestyle or social media experience would be useful, but it is not essential.
## What We’re Looking For
This role would particularly suit someone who wants to **get properly involved in marketing from the ground up**.
You might be a recent graduate, have completed an internship or placement, be running your own social channels or projects, or already have some junior marketing experience and be looking for more responsibility.
We are a small, entrepreneurial business, so this isn’t a role where you will only be responsible for one small part of the marketing function. You’ll have exposure to social media, email, events, campaigns, content, partnerships and the day-to-day realities of growing hospitality brands.
We value people who are willing to **go above and beyond**, solve problems, try new ideas and get involved.
## About the Brands
**Blue Jasmine** is a modern, independent hospitality destination overlooking Ocean Village Marina in Southampton, bringing together Asian-inspired sharing plates, wine, cocktails, events and **The Jasmine Lounge** – a day-to-night space for co-working, coffee, networking and live entertainment.
**Baccello** is an independent Italian wine and cicchetti bar in Christchurch, Dorset, combining food and wine with tastings, events, retail, wine experiences and international wine tours.
Both are growing brands with busy marketing calendars, giving the successful candidate the opportunity to work on a diverse range of real campaigns and projects.
## What We Offer
* **£28,000 annual salary**
* Expenses for approved travel and work-related costs
* Meals provided while working on site
* Hands-on experience across two established independent hospitality brands
* Exposure to social media, email marketing, events, campaigns, partnerships and content creation
* The opportunity to take ownership of projects as your experience grows
* A fast-moving environment where good ideas can be implemented quickly
* Genuine scope to develop the role as the businesses grow
**Please note:** This is an **on-site role and is not hybrid or remote**. You will be expected to work across our Southampton and Christchurch locations. Some evening and weekend availability will also be required, particularly around events and key campaigns.
Pay: £28,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- Casual dress
- Employee discount
Work Location: In person
