About the Role:
We're looking for a driven Marketing Assistant to join our Secret Cinema team and play a key role in delivering marketing campaigns that bring our brand and productions to life to drive ticket sales. From PR to Paid Social, Influencers to Insights, in this role, you’ll work across the full marketing mix to help execute marketing activity from concept to launch. Your work will directly impact audience engagement and ticket sales for our award-winning immersive productions.
If you thrive in a fast paced environment, are highly organised and passionate about live entertainment, we’d love to hear from you.
Please note: This is a 12-month fixed term contract and qualified candidates must be based in the greater London area. We encourage collaboration by working a minimum of 3 days per week in the office, while also offering flexibility for employees to choose where they work for the rest of the week.
We aim to be transparent and consistent from the start. To support fairness and equity across the team, this role has a fixed salary of £30,000 per year, which applies to all candidates at this level. This salary is benchmarked against the London market for this level and position.
What Success Looks Like:
Campaigns land on time and on brief: The marketing calendar runs smoothly with all owned deliverables, email sends, social posts, partner and press moments executed on schedule and on budget.
CRM communications drive measurable audience engagement: Open and click-through rates meet or exceed established benchmarks within the first three months, reflecting accurate execution, improving content quality, and a growing understanding of our audience.
Digital channels are consistently fresh, accurate and active: Social channels are posted to consistently in line with the content plan, website updates are live within 48 hours of a brief, and community messages are responded to within agreed SLAs — giving audiences a seamless and reliable brand experience at every touchpoint.
Brand partnerships and press activity are delivered without gaps: All contracted partner marketing obligations are tracked and fulfilled on time, and press/influencer visits and events are coordinated smoothly.
What You'll Do:
Execute multi-channel marketing campaigns across PR, paid digital, CRM, social, and partnerships, ensuring activity is delivered on brief, on time, and in line with the broader marketing strategy set by the Director of Marketing.
Own the end-to-end delivery of CRM communications, writing, building, and sending email campaigns through platforms like Mailchimp and Iterable, keeping our audience engaged and informed at every stage of their journey.
Manage and grow our social media presence by planning, writing, and publishing content across our channels, helping to build an active, engaged community that reflects our brand voice.
Champion our online community experience by monitoring inboxes, responding to comments and messages, and ensuring every audience interaction is handled with care, protecting and strengthening our brand reputation.
Keep our digital presence sharp and accurate by maintaining up-to-date, engaging content across our websites, ensuring customers always find clear, relevant information that drives action.
Drive the operational engine of the marketing function by managing campaign calendars, coordinating press and influencer activity, supporting brand partnership delivery, and keeping processes running smoothly, so the wider team can focus on strategy and growth.
We're Looking for Someone With:
A genuine interest in marketing and communications; demonstrated through study, personal projects, placements, or any experience creating content and engaging audiences.
Solid organisational and project management ability; comfortable juggling multiple deadlines, managing campaign calendars, and keeping stakeholders informed without dropping the ball.
A proactive, solutions-first mindset; someone who spots what needs doing, takes ownership, and stays composed when priorities shift in a fast-moving environment.
A genuine passion for live entertainment, storytelling, and culture; you understand what makes Secret Cinema's work special and bring that enthusiasm to everything you create.
Collaborative spirit with a hunger to grow; you're eager to learn new tools, develop new skills, and contribute ideas, not just execute tasks.
