Company mission

To make the world less boring.

Role

Who you are

  • Experience creating and managing multi-platform content marketing campaigns.
  • Demonstrable experience developing marketing systems and processes.
  • Experience leveraging tight budgets to outsize results.
  • Ability to switch from hands-on execution to delegation and management with in house team and international crew of contractors.
  • Genuine interest in international adventures and electric vehicle manufacturing.
  • Good eye for quality content of all types plus the ability to write briefs that create it.
  • Skills in crafting (or guiding the craft of) copy that speaks with The Adventurists’ unique voice. It’s easy to get wrong, and this role needs to be able to catch it and correct it.
  • Analytical mental toolbox to decode past & predict future trends in our business & execute accordingly.

Desirable

  • Skills to make quick changes to existing artwork. We don’t want this role to be a designer – that’s silly. But so is waiting hours for minor copy changes to a piece of artwork that needed to go out yesterday.
  • Any experience in the online retail field is a plus. We’re keen to get Adventurists, Equestrianists and Venturo merchandise into the hands of the waiting and eager masses
  • Proactivity in spades. Excellent communication skills. Willingness to get your hands dirty
  • A passion for staying current. We’re looking for a person who scouts the digital realm, eager to discover and leverage the latest technologies and platforms to enhance our arsenal of tactics and strategies

What the job involves

  • Lead all marketing activities for The Adventurists, The Equestrianists and Venturo
  • Refine the entire customer journey, removing obstacles and smoothing the way until it gleams with efficiency and moves folks along it like greased lightning
  • Develop and execute digital cross channel strategy including organic and paid social, PPC advertising, email marketing, website content and more to drive awareness, consideration and conversion. Provide analytics and reporting on the results on a regular basis
  • Move us quickly to a proactive stance in our marketing, putting us on the front foot. Our sales cycle begins 12-18 months in advance of adventure launch, so marketing plans must follow suit
  • Create and manage the content calendar, working closely with the wider team to proactively focus efforts on adventures that have capacity
  • Hands on posting on social media and website updates as required
  • Create email marketing content and automations, using the CRM to target specific segments
  • Gather data from (currently) disparate systems and draw insights to be converted into solid strategies
  • Use scientific marketing experiments such as A/B testing and data analysis to drive better results
  • Spring clean our systems and processes to facilitate growth from a solid footing. Within a budget, there’s a blank slate to build a marketing ecosystem of your own devising – a unique chance to build it right – rather than arriving into an established and immovable organisation
  • Foreseeing the need for additional marketing resources, search, selection, onboarding, training

Application process

  • Initial introduction call & questions for shortlisted candidates
  • Video call interview
  • In person interview

Company benefits

  • Remote with very occasional travel to Bristol, Chepstow or Brighton for face-to-face team meetings
  • Occasional international travel to help crew the adventures and take part every now and again too. Likely to be far-flung and slightly odd locations
  • Flexible working hours possible (around business needs)
  • Discounted adventures

Our take

The Adventurists are pioneers in curating unconventional escapades worldwide, striving to infuse excitement into our overly regimented lives. What distinguishes them is its unorthodox approach to adventure, exemplified by endeavours like 'The Equestrianists' horse racing series and 'Venturo Adventure Machines,' where participants must earn their thrills.

Founded by Tom Morgan, The Adventurists has successfully raised over £10 million for charity, engaging participants in fundraising alongside their adrenaline-pumping exploits. Despite initial hurdles, like meagre turnout at debut events, the company has evolved into a significant enterprise with a loyal following.

The company’s future roadmap includes expanding its repertoire of adventures, organising consecutive Mongol Derbies, and introducing a US leg to establish a "triple crown" series. Throughout its journey, the company's core principle remains unwavering: prioritise crafting extraordinary adventures over chasing profit margins. The Adventurists is undoubtedly an exciting and "different" company to be apart of.
