Leading on campaigns, you will display excellent organisational and planning skills, delivering campaigns on time and evaluating and sharing your results.

With a keen eye for competitor activity, you will be curious and innovative in your approach, always looking for ways to reach new readers, whether through partnerships, social media initiatives, bookseller engagement or through impeccable campaign creative and copy. Confident in briefing and running effective digital campaigns and creating, implementing and measuring content strategies for newsletters and websites, you will have an interest in emerging platforms and opportunities and a desire to grow a great list of digital, and other, contacts.
