6-Month Contract - To start late August, beginning September

An Australian manufacturer with more than 25 years of history makes the drinking fountains, bottle refill stations and street furniture you see in schools, parks and public spaces across the country. Their products are built to last generations, their customers are loyal, and their marketing is genuinely active: publications, EDMs, social media, school promotions and trade events, all running to established calendars and systems.

This is a six month maternity leave contract running the marketing function. You will have a full month of handover with her before she goes and a month together when she returns. In between, you run the engine: guiding a talented offsite designer, hitting publication deadlines, sending the monthly newsletters, executing the social calendars and coordinating events. You will also lay the branding and content foundations for a brand-recent website build, working directly with the General Manager and the digital agency. The strategy is set. Your job is to keep a well-oiled machine running beautifully.
