Working with the Content Manager to develop, maintain and post content for the IT Lab website and digital campaigns, and generally be responsible for maintaining the IT Lab website and other content channels e.g. You Tube, Wistia. Managing our HubSpot instance to ensure relevant CTAs, forms, landing pages and other HubSpot-generated content are correctly and most efficiently deployed in order to generate leads into the marketing funnel and then convert them. Work closely with the relevant agencies to develop, manage and report on SEO, paid media, and social plans and campaigns. Track digital results and KPIs, producing and sharing monthly reports, in conjunction with our digital agencies. Edit and post videos, podcasts, webinars and other digital content to online sites and the IT Lab website and social channels.
