Working with the senior marketing and operations team, you will advise on and deploy social media content activity that supports the vision of NERF AX to be the leading and pioneering family entertainment centre.

You will be driven by creativity and thinking outside of the box, not afraid to have an idea and run with it, no matter how crazy it may be.

  • Work with our agencies and contact centre to engage and reply to our communities and customers who are using our social media estate.
  • Ensure appropriate tone of voice and brand vernacular across all our social channels
  • Coordinate content shoots within the venue for all products associated with the experience, and retail liaising with appropriate in-house teams and third party agencies.
  • Foster relationships with content creators, influencers and seek out collaborative opportunities for the brand with partner organisations such as Archie’s and Trafford Palazzo
  • Seek out new opportunities to raise our awareness and reach through engagement with brand related online groups and forums
  • Undertake social listening across all platforms; competitor analysis and review NERF AX performance in line with this and act, where necessary, to stay ahead.
