Company mission
Avant Arte is a digital platform for collectible arts, exploring new ways to open the doors to art collecting. Avant Arte are working on online and offline initiatives that empower the new art collector and help artists to reach the right audience.
Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate will have experience in performance marketing, paid media execution, and cross-channel campaign management, with a passion for delivering impactful results
- Comfortable in a generalist marketing role, even if you come from a more specialist background
- Very well organised and on-the-ball, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
- Strong with numbers and analytical, with a performance-mindset. Paid social and/or performance marketing experience is an advantage, but not essential
- Proactive and entrepreneurial, able to spot and take advantage of opportunities to maximise the reach and impact of release marketing
- Highly proactive, able to drive forward projects in a structured manner
- Someone with strong communication and collaboration skills, effective at working with cross-functional teams
- 4-5 years’ experience in either a generalist marketing or performance marketing role
- Experience with campaign analysis, reporting, and performance optimisation
- Background in a high-growth e-commerce environment
What the job involves
- We are looking for a dynamic and results-driven Generalist Marketing Manager with a strong emphasis on Paid Social
- This role will be instrumental in driving our marketing efforts, particularly in the execution of release marketing and paid social strategy
- Each one of the 100+ products that we release every year has its own launch campaign
- This role will manage around half of them
- Develop the marketing plan for each release, working with channel managers and Marketing Lead to tailor it to the needs of the specific release
- Create a brief for content to populate the marketing plan, and work with Content Leads & Artist Managers on planning and timelines
- Oversee execution of the plan, ensuring smooth coordination from kick-off to completion
- Monitor and track campaign results, optimising performance based on demand levers
- We track and report on the performance of our campaigns as they go, enabling us to react in real time. On the campaigns you manage, you’ll lead on this
- Track and measure campaign performance, providing actionable insights for future improvements
- Produce post-campaign reports, evaluating key metrics, engagement, and conversion
- Share reports and recommendations to internal stakeholders to support data-driven decision-making for future campaign planning
- Alongside generalist campaign management, this role will also manage our paid social activity
- We’ll offer training in the channel, so while prior experience with paid social is an advantage, it is not essential — numeracy and a performance-mindset are more critical
- Manage execution of paid social campaigns for all releases, including ad set creation and performance optimisation
- Set targets, manage budgets, and calculate ROI for paid social initiatives
- Optimise creatives, copy, and audience targeting to improve conversion rates and lower conversion costs
- Work with the content team to refine creatives for social media success
- Collaborate with data teams to implement pixel events for accurate tracking and attribution
- Act as the primary contact for Meta, troubleshooting ad performance or technical issues
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Avant Arte started as an online community in 2015, and quickly gained a huge organic following (they currently have 2.5m+ followers on Instagram). They're now using their platform as a way to inspire and enable the next generation of art collectors.
They work with leading global contemporary artists and rising stars to produce limited edition sculptures and print editions, which they sell through their own platform (splitting profits with the artist for providing access to their pool of art collectors). The majority of their launches all sell out within minutes, showing huge demand for their products.
They're looking to disrupt the global art market, which is worth ~$70bn a year and growing. This is a space that has been dominated by auction houses like Sotheby's and Christie's and large powerful galleries like Gagosian. With a Product team run by Diogo Teles (formerly of Booking.com and REKKI) and Engineering team run by Riaz Bordie (formerly Check.com), the company’s strategy focuses on creating the best experience for buying art online, as well as fostering their community of next generation collectors and building a platform to serve all of their needs.
