Admin Assistant Bristol, England
Job description
About the organisation
Sprague Gibbons is a creative, advertising and marketing agency in central Bristol. We work with clients in the South West and further afield, mostly b2b, and often, but not always, SMEs. In fact, one of our clients is currently Sainsbury’s.
We do brand development, messaging, content, website design and development, copy, multimedia content creation, advertising, strategy, social media, digital marketing …. Oh and we also do recruitment / employer marketing and property marketing. That’s what happens when you’ve been in business for nearly 30 years – we’ve evolved, adapted, and developed new skills to make sure we stay relevant and continue to keep our clients ahead of the game.
Vacancy Full Description
We’re looking for a bright, energetic person to join our busy team.
What will you be doing? Well, that’s easy. A bit of everything, and whatever needs doing. We’re a full-service creative agency, so no day is the same. You’ll mainly be supporting the client-facing account management crew, but it’s all hands to the pump when a big project or deadline comes along.
There may be proposal writing and proof reading along the way, so you’ll need a good grasp of English language and grammar, as well as competence in Word and Excel. We might need you to help pull together website analytics reports, looking at social media performance, adding content to clients’ websites. You’ll do media research for advertising, and in time, you’ll deal directly with clients and media. You’ll help cost out campaigns, help implement social media and digital campaigns,
If you’re confident, hard-working and happy to muck in with a diverse, busy team, then we’d like to hear why you’re the one for us.
