Marketing Manager - Manchester (Hybrid working)
We have an amazing opportunity for a commercially driven, fan-focused Marketing Manager to lead the growth of two of the UK's most iconic entertainment experiences: the Coronation Street Experience and the Emmerdale Village Tour.
As two of the UK's most recognised and much-loved television brands, Coronation Street and Emmerdale have built loyal national audiences over decades. This role is about leveraging that powerful brand awareness and fan engagement to drive sustainable visitor growth for the tours — converting soap fans into tour visitors and building long-term advocacy.
Working in close partnership with ITV Studios, you'll play a key role in translating national brand strength into commercial performance.
The Role
The position is based at the Coronation Street Experience in Manchester with some travel to Leeds but it also offers the flexibility of hybrid working from home.
This is a hands-on role where you will have real ownership and impact, with clear commercial accountability from day one.
You will:
* Lead the annual marketing plan aligned to visitor growth and commercial targets
* Identify new growth opportunities across direct (B2C) and indirect (B2B, trade and group) channels to escalate to our Sales and Relationship Department
* Manage and optimise a six-figure marketing budget, including media investment
* Deliver integrated campaigns across paid, owned and earned channels
* Own performance across website and CRM, improving engagement and conversion
* Optimise the customer journey and marketing funnel from awareness through to advocacy
* Work closely with Operations to ensure marketing and on-site delivery create standout fan experiences
* Act as day-to-day marketing lead with ITV, building strong collaborative relationships and delivering clear performance updates
What Success Looks Like
* Delivery of visitor growth and commercial targets
* Improved marketing ROI and conversion performance
* Strong partnership with ITV and internal stakeholders
* Increased fan engagement, advocacy and repeat visitation
This role goes beyond driving traffic — it's about building emotional connection and turning audiences into loyal fans and advocates.
About You
You will be commercially aware, insight-driven and motivated by growth.
You will bring:
* 5+ years' experience in a commercial marketing role
* A track record of delivering measurable results through integrated campaigns
* Strong digital and media planning capability, with a good understanding of performance marketing
* Confidence using data and analytics (e.g. Google Analytics) to inform decisions and improve outcomes
* Experience working cross-functionally, ideally alongside operational teams
* The ability to build strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders
* A genuine passion for brands and creating meaningful fan experiences
* A proactive mindset and the curiosity to spot and act on new opportunities
* Experience within leisure, entertainment, fan experiences or visitor attractions would be advantageous
* Driving licence and own transport
* The flexibility to work the occasional weekend when required
