The London Canal Museum is seeking a Marketing volunteer to maintain and innovate the museum's publicity and marketing activities.
The museum is active on Time Out, London Planner, various Newsletters, What’s On websites, travel blogs, etc – as well as social media, but lacks a dedicated resources to keep these communications up-to-date and pro-active.
The objective is to ensure What’s-On sites and tourism publications, local organisations, bloggers, press and the general public are kept aware of what’s happening at the museum, and of course, with the aim to sustain and increase visitor numbers throughout the year.
In addition, the museum would like to research the ‘blogosphere’ to create a new contact lists and grow relationships with influencers in the travel/entertainment and ‘things to do in London’ sector.
Applicants are welcome from prospective volunteers with a sales, publicity, PR or marketing background who are either self-starting or work efficiently and effectively under direction.
Experience in consumer-facing or entertainment/cultural/visitor attraction businesses is preferred, but not essential.
The London Canal Museum is dedicated to educating and inspiring our visitors with the history of London’s canals – how they’ve shaped London’s development, the ordinary people that lived and worked on them, as well as the entrepreneurs who profited from them. We want to pass on the heritage of the canals so that future generations can learn about London’s industrial and social past.
As a volunteer run organisation we rely on a dedicated team of volunteers to manage all areas of the museum. Managing the marketing for the museum will help spread the word of the museum, keep people informed of upcoming events and offerings and ultimately help grow the museum.
