Ref: TC/21458/718

As Marketing and Publicity Manager, you'll be responsible for planning and implementing standout, highly creative, audience-focused marketing and publicity campaigns across our publishing portfolio - from blockbuster exhibition titles to groundbreaking trade books and debut children's picture books.

Working closely with editorial, sales, production, curatorial and Tate's wider marketing and press teams, you'll be working across the full marketing mix - from traditional advertising through to digital, and from trade to consumer marketing. In particular, the role will focus on helping to raise the profile and grow sales of our trade and children's titles across the UK.

You'll work with the Senior Marketing Manager to ensure Tate Publishing's marketing strategy aligns with the broader vision for Tate Enterprises. Together, you'll help develop the annual marketing roadmap, strengthen Tate Publishing's presence internally, and actively identify new growth opportunities beyond our existing audiences and channels. We're looking for a creative and strategic marketer with proven experience in art publishing or a similar creative industry. You'll have a track record of developing standout, consumer-focused campaigns that drive engagement and sales across a range of products. Confident in writing compelling copy, briefing strong creative, adapting to changing needs, and analysing results, you bring both creative flair and commercial focus.

This is a varied role and would suit an efficient, ambitious, proactive, and enthusiastic individual with a passion for art and art books (a particular interest in children's titles would be a bonus) and someone who enjoys working collaboratively as part of a busy team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Marketing or Publicity Executive or Senior Executive looking for the next step, or a Marketing/Publicity Manager ready for a new challenge.
