Let’s be honest.

Most marketing jobs are painfully average.

You sit in 11 meetings per week discussing “strategy”...

Only for the final outcome to be:
3 Canva graphics,
a report that's manipulated to make the results seem like you're doing something,
and a moderately satisfied client

Somewhere along the way, a huge chunk of the marketing industry forgot the main objective:

Grow the business.

Not win fake LinkedIn arguments about brand archetypes.

Not use the word “storytelling” 26 times per meeting.

Not celebrate a 0.7% CTR like the team just landed on the moon.

Actually grow the business.

That’s what we do at VenueScale.

We work with hospitality and entertainment brands across Australia and our entire model is built around one thing:

Generating measurable growth.

More customers.
More bookings.
Better retention.
Higher utilisation.
Higher revenue.
MORE PROFIT!

Simple.

And because of that, we’re looking for a very specific type of marketer.

Not someone who just “likes marketing”.

We’re looking for someone commercially sharp.

Someone who walks into a venue and instinctively starts spotting:

weak offers

poor positioning

operational bottlenecks

missed revenue opportunities

terrible customer journeys

lazy creative

businesses accidentally making their own lives harder

The type of person who sees growth opportunities everywhere.

Even when they’re supposed to be off the clock.

If that sounds slightly concerningly similar to you...

Keep reading.

We work with some of the most exciting venue brands in Australia.

Hospitality: Think restaurants and bars

Entertainment: Think escape rooms, mini golf, karaoke

And unlike most agencies...

We actually care whether the client makes money.

Wild concept, apparently.

THE KIND OF PERSON THIS ROLE IS FOR

You’re the person in meetings who says:
“Cool idea. But what’s the ROI?”

You naturally think commercially.

You see businesses differently to most marketers.

You understand that:
great creative means nothing without strategy...

And strategy means nothing without execution.

WHAT THE ROLE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

You’ll manage a portfolio of 12 venue clients.

Not 43 accounts stuffed into a spreadsheet while someone asks you to “just check in quickly”.

A focused portfolio.

Enough to think deeply.
Enough to make a real impact.
Enough to stand proud behind the results you help your clients achieve.

You’ll work directly with our A team: Head of Marketing, Creative Strategist, Creative Support.

Some clients will be brilliant.

Some will be chaotic.

Some will ignore your advice and then rediscover it 3 weeks later as if they invented it themselves.

All part of the game.

Your role is to:
diagnose problems,
identify growth levers,
build strategy,
and drive execution (hands on Google and Meta Ads expertise is a must)

Sometimes the answer is:
better ads.

Sometimes it’s identifying:
a terrible offer,
bad pricing,
weak positioning,
poor customer experience,
or a venue doing everything under the sun to get people through the door but forgetting to actually offer a great experience.

You need to know the difference.

And yes, you’ll regularly need to jump into the trenches yourself. This is a hands-on role.

THE STANDARD

We’re a high-performance company.

Not in the cringe LinkedIn hustle-culture way.

Everyone on the team is simply exceptional at what they do.

Our clients trust us with the performance of their business and we take that seriously.

So we need people who:

Think critically

Move quickly

Take ownership

Solve problems independently

Communicate clearly

Stay calm under pressure

Care about outcomes

You should be able to:
challenge clients confidently,
explain complex strategy simply,
and turn messy situations into actionable plans.

You should also be comfortable saying:
“No. That’s a terrible idea and here’s why.”

Politely, of course.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

Extensive training and full support - we take training very seriously and will provide you with the industry’s very best training, giving you the knowledge and confidence needed for greatness.

Autonomy - You'll have the freedom to do what you need to do to help your clients.

Driven and vibrant team - what’s the opposite of “lie with dogs and get fleas?”

Direct access to senior leadership - work collaboratively with some of the best marketing and business brains in the country

Generous salary - we want Australia’s best talent and remunerate accordingly

Clients that are actually interesting - just to keep your day to day fun

Amazing growth prospects - help us build an empire and we'll give you a lordship!

HERE’S WHAT TO DO NEXT

Send us:

Your CV

A short cover letter

Anything that helps us understand why you are the person we're looking for

But please...

Don’t send us one of those painfully generic cover letters that sounds like it was generated in 6 seconds by ChatGPT.

You know the ones.

“I’m a passionate and highly motivated individual who thrives in fast-paced environments…”

Riveting stuff.

Instead, tell us:

Direct impacts you have made for your clients in the past (and how)

What makes you the A Star player we're looking for?

We care far more about commercial instinct, execution ability, and how your brain works than polished corporate language.

If you can't muster the effort to do this properly,

Please don't waste my time or yours by applying

I wish you good luck,

Morgan

On a final note...
