Ashtons Estate Agency & Mortgageable
Location: Winwick, Warrington – HQ based with regular travel to our estate agency offices

The Role
We’re looking for a talented Creative Marketing Executive to work across two established businesses: Ashtons Estate Agency and Mortgageable.

This is not a traditional marketing role.

We’re looking for someone with a genuinely strong eye for design, a good understanding of digital marketing and, above all, the initiative to bring new ideas to the table.

You might currently be a designer who has moved into marketing, a creative marketer with a strong design background, or someone whose experience sits somewhere between the two.

You don't need to be an expert in every platform we use. What matters more is that you understand how they work, you're comfortable learning, and you can demonstrate that you know what good creative work looks like.

You'll work closely with the Managing Director, initially receiving plenty of input and direction, but with the opportunity to increasingly run your own ship as you get to know the businesses and earn trust.

What You'll Be Doing
The role will be split across Ashtons Estate Agency and Mortgageable, with quite different marketing requirements.

At Ashtons, you'll oversee the quality and consistency of our marketing output across the business. This will include monitoring social media activity from our branch teams, making sure property advertising is being posted consistently, reviewing the work produced by our photographers and ensuring the standard of photography and content reflects the Ashtons brand.

You'll regularly visit our estate agency offices, work with teams to improve their marketing output and help ensure the brand is presented consistently across every location.

At Mortgageable, the role will be more hands-on creatively. You'll help create new website content, design social media campaigns and posts, develop creative ideas, review and monitor Google Ads and Meta activity, and continually look for ways to improve how the business presents and markets itself.

Across both businesses, you'll also have the opportunity to develop and improve our existing brands. We have established brand styles, templates and guidelines, but they're not set in stone. We want someone capable of looking at what we do now and making it better.

What We're Looking For
We're particularly interested in someone who has a design or creative background and has developed a broader understanding of marketing.

You'll ideally be comfortable working with tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Canva and Figma, alongside a working knowledge of Google Ads and Meta advertising. You don't need to be an expert in every platform from day one.

You must be comfortable using a camera and understand composition, lighting, framing and what makes a strong image or piece of content. Advanced video editing isn't essential, as we have access to external editing support.

You'll also need to be:

• Highly creative with an excellent eye for design
• A self-starter who regularly brings new ideas
• Confident enough to challenge work that isn't up to standard
• Organised and able to oversee marketing activity across multiple locations
• Commercially minded rather than creative for creativity's sake
• Comfortable working directly with senior management
• Interested in new platforms, technology, design trends and marketing ideas
• Able to balance brand consistency with continually improving what we do

Previous property, estate agency or mortgage experience would be advantageous, as would a good understanding of how property should be photographed, presented and marketed, but it isn't essential for the right person.

Portfolio Required

A portfolio or examples of previous creative work will be required as part of your application.

We're much more interested in seeing what you can actually create than simply reading a list of software packages on a CV.

This could include branding, graphic design, social campaigns, photography, websites, advertising creative or other work that demonstrates your design ability and creative thinking.

What Success Looks Like

Within your first year, we'd expect you to have made a visible difference.

Ashtons' marketing should look better and be more consistent across our offices. Our photography and property presentation standards should continue to improve. Mortgageable should have stronger social and website content, our digital advertising should be closely monitored, and you should be regularly bringing forward new ideas for both businesses.

Ultimately, we're looking for someone who can gradually take greater ownership of our marketing and become someone we trust to protect, develop and push both brands forward.

Pay: £35,000.00-£45,000.00 per year
