Marketing Manager

FMCG / Retail | Lenasia, Gauteng

Our client, a well-established and growing FMCG/Retail organisation based in Lenasia, is seeking a creative, hands-on and commercially driven Marketing Manager to lead the marketing function and take the brand to the next level.

This is a dynamic, execution-focused marketing role suited to someone who combines strategic thinking with strong practical creative skills. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable developing a campaign strategy, picking up a camera, creating content, managing digital platforms and measuring campaign performance.

• Develop and execute creative, commercially focused marketing campaigns and promotional initiatives.
• Produce professional photography and videography for marketing and promotional purposes.
• Create, edit and manage engaging Reels, TikTok content, promotional videos and other digital content.
• Design high-quality marketing artwork, posters, digital advertisements, promotional materials and in-store communication.
• Manage, develop and grow the company's Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and other relevant social media platforms.
• Plan, execute and optimise Meta, TikTok and other digital advertising campaigns.
• Develop campaigns and activations designed to increase customer engagement, drive store traffic and support sales growth.
• Stay abreast of social media trends, consumer behaviour and emerging digital content formats.
• Coordinate and manage larger-scale marketing initiatives, including influencer campaigns, radio, television, outdoor advertising and promotional activations.
• Work closely with management to develop and implement the company's overall marketing strategy, brand positioning and creative direction.
• Monitor campaign performance and use insights and results to improve future marketing initiatives.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a hands-on marketing professional who takes ownership from concept through to execution.

Develop the idea → create the content → shoot it → design it → edit it → launch it → measure the results.

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

• Creativity and strong commercial awareness.
• Excellent initiative and problem-solving ability.
• Strong attention to visual detail and brand consistency.
• The ability to work independently while collaborating closely with management.
• A genuine understanding of current digital, social media and consumer trends.
• The confidence and ability to turn ideas into practical, measurable marketing activity.

Requirements

• 3–5+ years' relevant marketing experience.
• A strong portfolio of previous work is mandatory.
• Proven experience in graphic design, photography, videography and video editing.
• Strong experience managing social media platforms and digital advertising campaigns.
• FMCG, retail, lifestyle or consumer-brand experience will be highly advantageous.
• Experience with Adobe Creative Suite, Premiere Pro, After Effects or equivalent creative software will be advantageous.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• A valid driver's licence would be advantageous if the role requires travel for activations or content creation.

• What We’re Looking For

  This role is ideal for a hands-on Marketing Manager who wants to make a visible impact rather than simply manage a marketing calendar.

  You will have the opportunity to shape the brand, develop creative campaigns, build the company's digital presence and directly influence customer engagement and sales.

R20k - R30k depending on experience and suitability.

If you are a creative problem-solver who combines marketing strategy with strong practical execution, we would like to hear from you.
