The role:

We’re hiring a Brand Campaign Manager to safeguard The Economist brand across day‑to‑day marketing. You’ll support the VP of Brand Marketing by keeping copy and creative on‑brand, managing high volumes of assets, and helping run a robust brand‑video pipeline. This role is hands‑on, detail‑driven and fast‑moving—perfect for someone with sharp editorial judgement and a meticulous eye for consistency.

Responsibilities:

• Brand governance (BAU & brand assets)
  • Ensure brand voice, standards and messaging are consistent across regions, partners and platforms
  • Act as a critical reviewer for marketing materials before they are sent to senior marketing and editorial leads for final sign approval
  • Edit/refine copy for tone, clarity and consistency in line with The Economist’s voice and style, balancing editorial integrity with commercial needs
  • Provide clear guidance to internal teams and agencies; field day‑to‑day brand questions
• Brand video support
  • Manage our brand video marketing efforts end to end
  • Involves partnering with Editorial, our video editor and the in‑house paid team to keep a steady pipeline of brand‑elevating content
  • Ensure videos perform against ambitious brand KPIs and work cross‑functionally to optimise performance
• Asset operations
  • Coordinate asset intake, versioning, localisation, accessibility checks, usage rights and archival hygiene
  • Run pragmatic QA: specs, alt text, captions, credits, legal lines, link tracking and consistency checks
  • Maintain orderly asset libraries; improve findability and “reuse vs. reinvent.”

Who you are:

• Experience in brand, editorial, or marketing (media/publishing or premium brand a plus)
• Proven copyediting / copywriting skills and comfort enforcing a distinctive tone of voice
• Razor‑sharp attention to detail; strong grasp of brand systems and how assets travel across channels
• Practical familiarity with asset/workflow tools (e.g., Airtable) and basic creative tools (Adobe/Canva/Figma a plus)
• Calm under pressure; excellent prioritisation; collaborative and diplomatic
