We are seeking a creative and talented individual to join our Creative Events Team as a Marketing & Production Specialist for one of our consulting clients. Although you will be a Moveable employee, you will be acting as an extension of the client’s team working on behalf of their goals and needs, while contributing consulting ideas to improve the overall project. In this role, the primary responsibilities are creating visually and engaging content for social media platforms and event prints. You will work closely with the Creative Events team to develop content strategies that align with our brand identity and marketing goals, along with the production of weekly events. This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate and motivated individual looking to kick-start their career in social media and graphic design.

Key Marketing Responsibilities:

Content Creation: Capturing, designing and producing eye-catching graphics, images, and videos for social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, & Threads. Develop content that captures attention, conveys key messages, and generates user engagement for weekly events. Content capture should be taken at the weekly events to stock up the media inventory to use for content creation. There will be two different social media accounts that we manage for the client. One is more geared toward seasonal event promotion and the other is more geared to highlighting the assets of the overall business to draw regular attendance. Posts, stories, and ad production is expected for both on a weekly basis, so there are quick turnarounds.

Graphic Design: Utilizing industry-standard design software (e.g. Adobe Creative Suite) to create quality graphics, flyers, signage, and other visual elements for social media campaigns, digital assets, and physical marketing. For example, this can include the design of flyers, banners, A-frames, parking passes, and other miscellaneous signage. This can include working and brainstorming with program partners and the client to come up with a collaborative design that fits everyone’s branding and event concept.

Content Planning and Scheduling: Collaborate with the creative events team to develop content calendars and schedules. Assist in planning and executing social media campaigns, ensuring content is posted consistently and on time. During the main event season, most of the postings will be about events. During the off-season, most of the work will be around organizing, planning, performing content capture field trips, assessing performance data, and front-loading content creation. 

Trend Monitoring: Stay up to date with current social media trends, design techniques, and emerging platforms. Explore innovative ways to incorporate new trends and technologies into our social media content strategy.

This includes responding to and managing inquiries, bookings, comments, and any other type of requests that come through these channels. This requires regular checking and response times, as well as the ability to escalate or direct pressing matters or new opportunities to the client for further development.

What is Moveable?

Based in San José, CA and founded in 2011 as Moveable Feast – a street food festivals and corporate dining company – Moveable has since evolved into a full-stack events & experiences company boasting a significant and diverse portfolio of consulting services and self-produced projects. Our core business remains our food & beverage services, leveraging our network of high-quality Bay Area based food trucks and chefs for pop-ups, events, corporate meal services and catering. 

However, we are so much more. 

• Placekeeping. Powered by our multidisciplinary team of storytellers, urban planners, producers and artists, our placekeeping service (rather than “placemaking”) prioritizes empathy, equity and collaboration with the current resources of a community to help amplify the social, physical, and cultural aspects of its public spaces.
• Marketing. We provide smart, tactical, growth-intensive branding and social media marketing services leveraging our experiences growing our own brands social media followings to the tens of thousands. 
• Retail. As a result of our 2018 acquisition of San José Made (one of the preeminent small business retail initiatives in the Bay Area), we cultivate unique creative retail experiences designed specifically for small business success.
• Partnerships. We partner with over 1,500 makers, artists, designers, chefs, musicians, organizers, doers, thinkers and microentrepreneurs for programming and events that regularly attract over 1 million attendees annually spanning from South San Francisco to Gilroy and everywhere in between. 

As people who live in the Bay Area (many of whom were born and grew up here), we design all of our projects with a guiding mandate of community embrace. We love and believe in the small businesses, creatives, artists, doers, thinkers and organizers in our community, and want them to be the ones who influence and determine the future of our communities and cities. 

In other words, what started as a food truck company has now evolved into a “food trucks and so much more” company.
