Job Description
We have always done things differently since we started in 2000. And we continue to be brave in the approach we take to things. We don’t want to use conventional marketing techniques to grow sales and we want to feel like more than just a shop. We want to grow our awareness globally through creating amazing experiences of ASOS so our customers will advocate on our behalf.
This requires a different kind of approach to marketing than the traditional media plan utilising broadcast, print and digital channel and we need a Brand Marketing Director who can help us to shape and deliver what this should look like. We have a strong team of Brand, Performance, Trade and Partnership Marketeers in the business, and this role will be focused on ensuring they have the tools to deliver consistently amazing experiences for our customers.
This individual will help us to understand how we can effectively reach our existing audience to drive new customer acquisition from 20 something audiences who are yet to experience the brand; frequency of engagement and purchase; and longer term loyalty from our existing customers; all using a blend of paid, owned and earned channels. They will need an inquisitive and analytical mind to help us interpret the data and identify the opportunities within it.
This role will ensure that all marketing we do, across Performance, Brand, Trade, CRM and Partnerships, speaks to our brand purpose and helps to build emotional rather than just functional relationships with the brand.
Our awareness and perception in different markets varies so we’ll need to tailor the approach to the needs of each market, while ensuring that we are delivering a consistent brand globally, true to our core values. This person will also work very closely with the Global Trading Director and Heads of Trading in each market to shape clear market strategies for each market to deliver our ambitious growth goals.
The Brand Marketing Director will have a strong interest in fashion, culture and the lives of twenty somethings. All this will help nurture a distinct approach to how we engage our audience with the brand. This individual will be curious about how technologies and platforms including mobile, tablet, video and social can help build a richer experience of the brand.
Team:
