JUNIOR MARKETING ASSISTANT ROLE - FREELANCE

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Hello! We're The Avid Seamstress, a London-based sewing pattern company dedicated to helping modern makers enjoy the art of sewing.

With a dedication to producing quality products with easy to follow instructions, we strive to bring together a community of makers to employer and inspire each other through sewing.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a junior marketing assistant to work with us on a freelance basis to engage our audience, look for new and exciting ways to promote and grow our brand. You’ll have brilliant ideas to propel our business forward and find creating exciting marketing campaigns easy. 

This is an exciting time for The Avid Seamstress and we are looking for someone that wants to be part of our journey. We’ve just moved into a new studio, released a new pattern release plus we’ll be launching online workshops plus workshops in our studio.

You’ll have authentic, fresh ideas and whipping up an idea for a social media post or competition idea is something that comes naturally to you. Someone that can provide inspiration and ideas for how we can work with bloggers, host great events and run fun workshops. You’ll know what’s going on in the industry and ensure we are in the spotlight.

We need someone very organised, who loves a planner and who can work to deadlines. We know we may not be number 1 in your life but we do want someone that loves our brand and finds happiness in seeing it succeed.  Things will ramp up when we have a new pattern release and we’d love someone that can flex around our busy times.
