—— bespoke eshot graphics

— provide strategic counsel and creative ideas on how we can drive consumer engagement and boost ticket sales through social media and digital activity – in particular, how this links through to the website and PPC (see list of tasks above).

In addition, we will need more practical, day-to-day support, including, but not limited to:

— delivery of ad-hoc advertising and marketing materials, to support promotional opportunities which fall out of campaign periods.
