Freelance Social Media & Marketing Executive

Location: Remote (UK only – Glasgow area preferred for occasional content shoots and meetings)

Monthly Retainer: £1,500

Type: Ongoing freelance partnership

This is a part-time, ongoing freelance retainer (£1,500 per month), not an employed position.

New Wave Snacks is the company behind exciting brands including Me+ and Bliss. We're a small, growing FMCG business with ambitious plans across retail, licensing and brand growth.

We're looking for a proactive and organised Freelance Social Media & Marketing Executive to become an extension of our team. You'll play a key role in growing brand awareness, engaging our community and turning great marketing ideas into reality.

This is an exciting opportunity to work closely with a small team where your ideas will be valued, you'll have genuine ownership, and you'll play a real part in helping build our brands.

Your primary focus will be helping grow awareness of Me+ through engaging social media, creative marketing campaigns and brand activations, while occasionally supporting projects across Bliss.

Working alongside our Brand & Creative Lead and Director, you'll help bring ideas to life—from creating engaging content and coordinating creator collaborations to supporting product launches, competitions and marketing campaigns.

As a growing business, no two weeks are the same. The projects below reflect the variety of work you'll be involved in, with priorities naturally changing depending on campaigns, product launches and business needs.

• Creating, planning and scheduling engaging social media content.
• Coordinating creative marketing campaigns and bringing ideas to life.
• Building relationships with creators and influencers, coordinating product gifting and user-generated content.
• Organising competitions, product sampling and promotional activity.
• Identifying opportunities for brand collaborations and partnerships.
• Monitoring campaign performance, sharing insights and recommending improvements.
• Researching consumer trends, competitors and emerging marketing opportunities.
• Contributing creative ideas to help grow brand awareness, engagement and product trial.
• Supporting wider marketing projects and new product launches as our brands continue to grow.

You'll be organised, proactive and enjoy making things happen.

You'll thrive in a varied role, be equally comfortable creating social content one day and coordinating a marketing campaign the next, while enjoying working as part of a small, collaborative team.

Ideally you'll have:

• Experience creating engaging content across social media platforms.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills.
• Confidence building relationships with creators, influencers and brand partners.
• An eye for trends, opportunities and consumer behaviour.
• Experience using Canva, CapCut and social media platforms.
• An interest in AI and emerging marketing tools to improve creativity and efficiency.

Most importantly, you're someone who enjoys asking:

"How can we get more people discovering and buying our products?"

Me+ is at an exciting stage of its growth, and we're looking for someone who wants to help build the brand alongside us.

As a small team, your ideas won't get lost in layers of approval. You'll have the opportunity to contribute creatively, take ownership of projects and see your work make a genuine impact as our brands continue to grow.
