Assistant Marketing Manager

St Austell Brewery is a leading name in the hospitality industry, renowned for our exceptional pub estate and commitment to delivering outstanding guest experiences. We are seeking a passionate and creative Assistant Marketing Manager to join our team and support the planning and delivery of marketing campaigns across all channels.

As an Assistant Marketing Manager, you will play a vital role in the pub marketing team, developing and implementing campaigns and promotions.

You’ll be a dynamic marketer with a keen eye for detail and excellent organisational skills, able to manage and prioritise your workload effectively.

This exciting role involves engaging our target guests through on and offline promotions, partnerships, incentives, and activities. A large proportion of your time will be spent in trade, working closely with our area managers and pub teams, so a willingness to travel around the South West is essential.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the development and implementation of the pubs' brand marketing plan, driving campaign initiatives and creating assets to engage guests and drive sales.
• Work collaboratively with operations teams, spending a significant amount of time out in trade to support events and campaigns at a site level.
• Build and maintain relationships with new and existing partners and third party drinks suppliers to support event activations and brand engagement.
• Assist with the marketing of key brand partnerships and sponsorships, spanning PR, digital, social, and branding.
• Lead the delivery of events across St Austell Brewery’s managed pub estate, including scoping proposals, managing budgets, and creating timing schedules.
• Assist the Pub Marketing Manager with key campaign deliverables such as photography shoots, promotions, and partnerships, ensuring alignment with brand guidelines.
• Help coordinate consumer research and customer feedback to inform brand plans and identify new growth opportunities.
• Generate brand specific PR in collaboration with the comms team, supporting storytelling and managed house news.
• Work with internal and external teams, including design, print, and digital agencies, to deliver plans in line with the pub marketing strategy. Manage timings, communicate key deadlines, and ensure projects are executed as planned.
• Provide light-touch marketing support to our tenanted pub teams, including best practice sharing, campaign support, and attending relevant meetings.

What We’re Looking For:

• A dynamic and organised marketer with experience in both traditional and digital marketing channels.
• Experience in marketing, ideally within the hospitality sector.
• Proven experience in developing and delivering marketing and brand plans.
• Excellent storytelling skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects at once.
• A problem solver with personal drive, attention to detail, and a proactive mindset.
• A team player with strong interpersonal skills, actively contributing and building relationships across the business.
• A passion for hospitality and the Great British pub.
• A flexible, hands on approach with a willingness to travel regularly across the South West to work closely with pub teams.

What we offer in return: 

• 25 days annual leave (plus 8 bank holidays). 
• 30% discount on food & drink and 50% discount on accommodation. 
• Fantastic training & career development opportunities. 
• Discounted membership with local businesses. 
• Company pension scheme
• Cycle to work scheme. 
• Company bonus scheme. 
• Health cash plan.
