Future Yard are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, creative and organised individual to this exciting new role of Marketing + Comms Assistant.
As a grassroots community music venue, Future Yard proudly hosts a varied live music programme across two spaces (280-capacity indoor Live Room and 600-capacity external space), alongside a range of skills and training opportunities. Their live programme is their heart, calling card and reason for being. Ensuring that all of these shows are promoted with warmth and passion, and that audiences can efficiently discover them, is essential to achieving their mission – that music can change the world.
In this exciting new entry role, you will be closely linked to the live events programme, supporting the delivery of marketing campaigns that aim to increase awareness and grow audiences. You will assist with the sales, announcement and ticketing requirements for all Future Yard events, underpinning the promotional work done by the Marketing + Comms team – which you will be vital to. This includes overseeing all of show announcements, managing ticketing platforms, creating and scheduling content for online and offline promo, and generally ensuring that Future Yard’s event communications are timely, accurate and engaging.
This is a fantastic opportunity to put your passion for live events to use, and to develop your skills and experience as part of a supportive and creative team. You will work closely with the Live Marketing Officer and Marketing Manager to plan and deliver engaging campaigns, helping to drive audience attendance and engagement across all of Future Yard’s live events, and occasionally on other aspects of Future Yard’s programming.
They don’t expect you to know everything already — they’re looking for someone with great communication skills, a keen eye for detail, a love of promoting music and a willingness to learn. Some experience with social media, design tools (like Canva or Adobe) or ticketing platforms would be great, but not essential.
