CONTENT MARKETING ASSISTANT

We're looking for a creative, bold Content Marketing Assistant to bolster our bulletin (i.e. email newsletter) and spice up our socials. 

THE BRAND:

We're Shandy Shack, an award-winning low-alcohol beer brand specialising in craft beer shandy. Founded by three friends (Ed, Tom and Freddie) in summer 2018, we’ve grown from the humble beginnings of a festival tour in our handbuilt pop-up Shack, to the fridges and shelves of bars and supermarkets all over the country.

But, why do we exist? The craft beer category is booming, but there’s an issue around accessibility and ABV. Lots of beer drinkers find craft beer too hoppy, too bitter or too strong. The no/low-alcohol category is also rapidly growing as more consumers look to reduce the number of units they’re drinking, but it doesn’t always deliver on taste. Why should moderation be a choice between all or nothing?

At Shandy Shack, we want to enable moderation without compromise for everyone. Our brand sits in the perfect middle ground, combining the best of craft beer with a sessionable, lower-ABV percentage. Excitingly, shandy is a category with longstanding cultural value and therefore offers a creative playground full of amusing, historic associations and stereotypes. We have a first mover advantage in reviving and premiumising this category.

We currently have a core range of four products, combining craft beer styles like pilsner and IPA with flavours such as elderflower, rhubarb and ginger. Between them, our shandies have won a total of six Great Taste stars over the last three years, which serves as a clear symbol of their quality.

Over the last three years, we've won multiple major listings, including supermarkets like Sainsbury’s and national wholesalers like Bidfood, as well as building a strong direct-to-consumer channel. We've also been heavily featured by mainstream national media, such as on ITV’s This Morning (twice), in The Times and in the Daily Mail to name just a few. This has allowed us to achieve impressive annual revenue growth of +132% on average over our last four years.

We’re eager to continue this growth trajectory by adding more marketing resource to our team to build more awareness for our brand amongst consumers.
