At Beyond The Book we specialise in recruitment in the Creative, Marketing and Digital space, including Marketing Managers
The role of a Marketing Manager can vary widely dependant on the company sector and size, but typically would be responsible for managing all elements of marketing both in terms of strategy and in terms of delivery including digital, offline, PR, communications, content, brand management and brand marketing, social media, paid search / paid advertising, marketing collateral and will occasionally be responsible for certain elements of creative design using the Adobe Creative Suite, although this is usually not at an expert level.
A Marketing Manager might work as a standalone marketer within a business or may manage a marketing team. This can sometimes be a smaller team to just include a Marketing Executive and/or Marketing Assistant for support or could be as part of a wider marketing team with specialists in various areas such as content, PR, digital, design, email and e-commerce, as well as other variations.
