Brand Marketing Graduate

About The Role

At AO, we're all about making things easier. Whether it’s delivering TVs, washing machines or brilliant customer experiences, we do things the AO way - with energy, personality and a passion for getting it right.

We're looking for a Brand Marketing Graduate to join our Brand Marketing team. This is an incredible opportunity for someone looking to kick-start their career in marketing, gain hands-on experience across social media, influencers, sponsorships and events, and learn from a team that loves bringing big ideas to life.
No two days are the same at AO, and that's exactly how we like it. One day you could be helping create social content, the next supporting an influencer campaign or assisting with a major sponsorship event. If you're organised, proactive and ready to get stuck in, we'd love to hear from you.

Our people are our superpower, and we’re unstoppable when we’re together! We want your ideas to flow, and what better way to make that happen than being based onsite, 5 days a week, where our culture fuels creativity, collaboration and growth. If a £1 bet in the pub between two friends can become the UKs most trusted electrical retailer, imagine what else can be achieved when were together!

Here's What You Can Expect To Be Doing

• Getting stuck in with our social team, helping to dream up ideas, create content and schedule it across our channels.
• Building great relationships with our influencers, managing communications, placing orders and keeping contracts on track.
• Taking ownership of social and influencer reporting, diving into the data to understand what's landing well and where we can do even better.
• Supporting exciting social, influencer and sponsorship events, helping bring campaigns and activations to life.
• Keeping our ticketing and hospitality allocations organised and running smoothly for both customers and AOers.
• Managing diaries for events, hospitality suites and sponsorship activity, making sure everything is in the right place at the right time.
• Supporting existing sponsorship partnerships while helping explore new opportunities and proposals.
• Keeping AOers in the loop by creating engaging internal communications about events, ticket allocations and key information.
• Helping manage sponsorship administration, from responding to ticket queries and coordinating allocations to keeping trackers and documents up to date.
• Supporting the wider Brand Marketing team with day-to-day administration, including raising purchase orders and keeping processes running smoothly.
• Taking the lead on creating social and sponsorship content that supports our brand strategy and helps tell the AO story.
