The Edinburgh International Book Festival brings leading and emerging Scottish, UK, and international authors and thinkers together to inspire each other and audiences through an extensive programme of public events, including conversation, interactive activities, and performance. The Book Festival takes place in person in Edinburgh but has a significant digital offering to reach authors and audiences around the world.
The Book Festival has a reputation as a powerful forum for the public to exchange views with writers and experts on a wide range of issues: social, ethical, and political as well as literary and cultural. At the heart of the Book Festival’s activity is an integrated approach to creative learning and education, with the aim of expanding participation in democratic discussion, fostering a love of reading and developing engaged, knowledgeable audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
About the Role
The role of Brand Manager is multi-faceted, operating across a wide range of channels and assets, and responsive to the organisation’s different needs and focus throughout its yearly cycle. It will deliver a range of projects across brand and marketing, from the Festival’s iconic brochure and venue dressing to site signage and targeted advertising campaigns. It is a key connector role, developing strong cross-departmental relationships to ensure that the Festival’s brand is consistently understood and represented across all assets produced by the organisation and its functions.
This is a busy and creative position, requiring a combination of strong project management skills, sharp marketing and design instinct, strategic thinking, and a high degree of organisation, professionalism, and flexibility. The Festival operates in a sector which is constantly evolving, as are the channels through which our brand communicates, so a sense of active curiosity and appetite for innovation are essential.
