Freelance opportunity - Creative Learning Week 2018.

£3,500

Details

County Durham Cultural Education Partnership – in which Beamish is a partner – is seeking an experienced freelance communications professional to coordinate and manage all communications activity to promote County Durham Creative Learning Week 2018.

 

Summary

Creative Learning Week 2018 is the first edition of a communications campaign that aims to raise the profile of and celebrate the fantastic arts and cultural offer for children and young people at school in County Durham. It will run from Monday 11th – Sunday 17th June, and encompasses creativity in its broadest sense – covering all art forms as well as museums and heritage.

The scope of work involves setting up and managing social media channels from scratch and quickly building a following, researching and generating inspiring content, proactively securing press and media coverage leading up to and during the week, as well as managing press and media at photocalls and handing enquiries.

Ideally you will have an understanding of the cultural sector in the North East and of the wonderful opportunities it offers to children and young people. You will have a track record in developing digital communications campaigns and in innovative approaches to grasping the attention and interest of new audiences. With excellent networks within local, regional and potentially national media, you will be able to generate significant positive media coverage for the project.

There is £3,500 available including expenses for this contract, and we anticipate work starting w/c 16th April 2018.
