A bit about us

M.Y.O is on a mission to spread the joy of creativity, connection and happiness to adults all over the world! We have a studio in London Bridge and currently run over 14 different creative workshops, where people learn arts and crafts and how to express their creative side, in a fun, positive and relaxing environment.

Over the last 5 years we’ve hosted 10,000s of adults in our studio, for public classes and events like creative team building, hen parties and birthdays, and off-site at festivals, company offices and brand activations. We’re virtual now too, of course! We also occasionally produce crafty how-to video content for world famous brands, have a range of creative kits and a podcast about bringing creativity to life and business. Lots more ideas in the pipeline too.

We’ve worked with Diageo to launch a new Irish whiskey, hosted teams from Google, LinkedIn, Warner Music, Monzo, Virgin, been at events like The Classic Boat Festival, Life Lessons at the Barbican and the Hackney Half, to working with organisations like Imperial College bringing science to life through creativity and have been featured in the Evening Standard, Time Out, Lonely Planet, Balance Magazine, Business Insider and lots more. 5 years in, still so many exciting opportunities to go after and it feels like we’re ready to take it to the next level!

We are a self-funded, independent business that likes to do things differently, and were co-founded by couple Diana Muendo and Samuel Lehane. We have a nimble and brilliant dynamic team, with a great mix of creative and corporate experience, along with the support of additional freelance creatives to host classes.

Marketing Role Description

What we are looking for
An energetic, optimistic and organised person to the M.Y.O team, who has a passion in helping more people get creative through our creative classes, brand activations or creative kits, by raising more awareness of all the colourful and creative things we do, through making and distributing content online. Basically, someone to help us with our online marketing!
You should enjoy arts & crafts, have a creative streak and be comfortable using Canva, along with having a go at writing some copy
Ideal for someone who wants a flexible role, on the side of another job or career
The role will be freelance contracted, with a commitment of 15 hours per week for 6 months initially
About the role
Hours, pay and type of role: The role is for 15 hours per week (essentially 2 days between Tuesday to Thursday) and the pay will be £15ph (15hrs x £15ph = £225 per week). It will be on a freelance contract basis. £15ph works out at £29,250 per year, if it was for 37.5 hours a week
Where: It will be partly virtual, with 1 day every week (ideally Tuesday) in our Colourful London Bridge studio (SE1) - so living in London within 45 minutes of SE1 is ideal
Start date: We expect to take on this role by the end of August
How long: This will start as a 6 month fixed term contract
Responsibilities
You will be expected to create 3-5 social media posts per week, a newsletter every 2nd week, 1 blog per week, engage with our followers. We are lucky that we generate tonnes of photos and some videos each week from classes and guests, that can be re-used in most of our posts, blogs and newsletters! We have lots of templates in Canva and past newsletters to work off, so don't worry!
Develop some engaging, short, online content in-between the above - we’re moving towards more videos
Distribute the content on our social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) - we use Later, it's easy to use
In short, help the brand grow effectively in digital ways and help to distribute the colourful and inspiring content you’ll make and create in the studio
We use Canva for designing things and Mailchimp for newsletters
Share ideas on strategies to increase reach and engagement on our social media platforms and newsletter
About You - must have
A passion for creativity, making inspiring & fun content and making people happy - that’s what this role is all about really!
Experience in Canva and platforms like Later and Mailchimp
Can make reels and videos on Instagram
Ability to make things happen and take initiative
About You - having lots of these qualities would be great
Has the best interests of what we are trying to do at heart - help more people and companies get creative, as it’s a fun thing which everyone can do, has real mindfulness benefits and is a brilliant way to connect with others.
Enjoys making and sharing video content on Instagram - does not have to be to a professional level at all, just fun and interesting. Some experience or interest in TikTok desired
Dependable - you do what you say you will or communicate effectively if you can’t
Love people. Engaging with them, understanding them and figuring out how to serve them best - so empathy is key
High energy, self-motivated and have a can-do attitude - a classic, but hugely important, you’ll have some independence to make good things happen, knowing the team is there to support you
Enjoys being creative, e.g. you may know how to sew, draw or like to learn to make new things or have a genuine desire to learn more crafts
To date, this role has suited freelancers with marketing experience who have another career as their main focus and have some flexibility with their schedule. It could also suit someone with a stable part-time corporate job that wants to scratch a creative itch.
Benefits
Be part of a growing creative business with big ambitions!
Collaborate, flexible and friendly environment
Access to unlimited creative classes and friends & family discount
Space to learn and grow
Regular team socials

If the private group booking is cancelled by you within 48 hours of the session date, we cannot refund or transfer.

We really have no idea how long this will go on for and are trying to be as fair as possible given all the uncertainty.

Many thanks, Sam, Diana and Team M.Y.O**
