DNCO

About

Where the Earls Court Exhibition Centres once stood is now Central London’s largest cleared development opportunity. As this derelict 40-acre site is redeveloped, Earls Court will be reinvented into a place where everyone can discover the transformative effect of wonder.

With awe-inspiring meanwhile installations on site – from the BBC Earth Experience to Padel courts to an extensive public art programme – you can already taste that future here today. Long term, Earls Court is a place addressing the deeper questions, like creating a spiritual home for clean innovation and an ecosystem for London’s cultural talent.

DNCO is the creative studio for culture and place. We believe design has the power to bring people together and transform what places can do for communities. We are working with the Earls Court team to communicate their vision for the area’s reinvention.

We are looking for an experienced social media manager to join our team and lead Earls Court’s channels through the transition from consultation phase to London destination.

What you would be doing

• Creating and posting content on Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook (January 2024 onwards) and TikTok (summer 2024 onwards)

• Working with the Earls Court team to stay abreast of their busy calendar of events and activities, then pitching concepts for maximising their exposure on social media

• Managing and tracking performance of paid social campaigns

Who you are

• Experienced social media manager with a strong track record, comfortable with working independently and setting direction for social channels

• Experience working with place brands is a plus; we’re also open to candidates in adjacent fields such as tourism, arts and culture or science

• Earls Court’s channels need to continue to engage local audiences while attracting fame across London, so you should bring strong instincts for both local concerns and the flare and creativity to reach beyond the immediate locality

• Proficient in social listening across channels to pick up on trends or opportunities, follow and engage with appropriate accounts and reshare stories

• Versatile experience across different channels, ideally with both B2B and B2C audiences
