What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is naturally curious, creative and full of ideas.
You'll be equally comfortable planning a month's worth of content as you are grabbing your phone to capture an unexpected moment that everyone else missed.
You'll understand what makes people stop scrolling, know how to tell stories visually, and appreciate that the best hospitality marketing often comes from authentic moments rather than polished adverts.
