Description
We’re looking for a proactive and creative Marketing & Promotions Executive to support the growth and visibility of our portfolio of regional newspaper titles across the North West.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a hands-on role in driving circulation, strengthening brand presence, and connecting our titles with the communities they serve.
As part of a fast-paced and collaborative team, you’ll be responsible for delivering impactful marketing activity across print and digital channels, while working closely with editorial, sales, and distribution teams to maximise performance.
This is a hybrid role; however, you should be commutable to Warrington.
Key Responsibilities
- Planning and delivering local marketing and promotional campaigns to drive newspaper sales
- Managing and deploying point-of-sale materials across retail outlets to improve visibility and availability
- Building relationships with retailers to support in-store execution and maximise display opportunities
- Supporting the launch and promotion of supplements, special editions, and key editorial campaigns
- Coordinating community engagement activity, including events, partnerships, and reader initiatives
- Using social media and digital platforms to support print circulation and audience growth
- Monitoring campaign performance and identifying opportunities to improve results
- Providing on-the-ground support across the region, including regular travel to key locations around Warrington and the North West.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
- Organised, self-motivated, and able to manage multiple projects at pace
- Creative and commercially aware, with a focus on delivering measurable results
- Confident in communicating with a range of stakeholders, including retailers and internal teams
- Comfortable working both independently and as part of a wider team
- Willing to travel across the region as required
- Previous experience in marketing, promotions, media, or retail is desirable, but just as important is a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and a willingness to get stuck in.
