JOIN OUR TEAM!

Hot Press is looking for someone to join our Marketing, Events & Social Media team.

We are at the cutting edge of culture, politics and social issues in Ireland, campaigning for equality and fighting to make Ireland a better, fairer, more open and egalitarian place.

Hot Press built its reputation as one of Ireland’s most important and influential print titles, helping to change and modernise Ireland.

And we’re still at it! The business has expanded and grown in recent times to encompass all things digital, social media platforms, events, sponsorships, TV and video productions, podcasts, additional magazine titles, books, education – and lots more besides.

Here’s a few of the bigger things we’ve done over the past year, alongside our flagship title and digital channels:

Created a hugely successful All Against Racism campaign, in partnership with the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission

Pioneered the acclaimed Irish Music Month initiative in partnership with the BAI, the IBI and 25 radio stations across Ireland

Published the first-ever career-spanning book about The Cranberries, 'Why Can’t We?', in partnership with the band to widespread acclaim

Delivered a series of major events, both in-person and virtual.

Brought to 240, the number of gigs in our innovative Y&E Series of Instagram live events with the support of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media

Produced the Up Close and Personal broadcast series – featuring Gemma Hayes, Villagers, Mary Coughlan, Planxty, Ash and Damien Dempsey – among other YouTube innovations

WHAT’S THE JOB ALL ABOUT?

Across all of these areas, Hot Press works closely with artists, musicians and others in the music space and in the wider creative community, campaigning alongside those who really aim to make a positive difference to modern Ireland. We also work with carefully selected partners and brands, who share a progressive sense of where Ireland is – or should be – heading.

Our ambition is always to reach more people, broaden our audience, deepen our engagement – and generally to create the best possible platform for Irish culture to further its impact both here at home, and across the world...

The chosen candidate will be part of a team, whose mission is to:

• Drive magazine sales.
• Sell subscriptions, both print and digital
• Grow Hot Press' following & engagement over social channels.
• Grow hotpress.com's traffic and unique users
• Originate and execute key promotions.
• Generate positive and effective PR
• Maximise sales of books and merchandising
• Deliver a variety of brilliant events
