Digital Marketing Associate
Cypress Grove Cheese
Posted: Nov. 19, 2021
Cypress Grove is one of America’s best-known and fastest-growing artisan cheese producers. We are proud of the joy our award-winning goat cheese brings to people and of the strong relationships we’ve built with our partners for over 30 years. It took a lot of hardworking, creative, and talented people to get where we are today and we are now seeking:
A Digital Marketing Associate to take our digital marketing efforts to the next level across social media, ecommerce, digital advertising, and more!
THE GIG
Reporting to the Senior Marketing Manager, this Digital Marketing Associate position will join our growing digital team to support our cheeses with social media ad creation, retailer and ecommerce advertising and ongoing optimization, search and display ads, and more. They’ll also provide top-notch support to marketing and be an integral part of our consumer relations team. As an ambassador for the Grover culture, you’ll ensure marketing managers have everything they need to be successful and external contacts know their questions are being addressed with a smile. You’ll get a lot of requests — from both inside Cypress Grove and from outside. You’ll need to be sure all of those requests are fulfilled inside defined processes, but also know when to drop everything and bend the rules a little for VIPs. Over the past few years, we’ve created a successful digital program, but if you’ve spent much time online and on social media (and we hope you have!), you know that the digital world is constantly changing. This is a great opportunity to jump into a successful digital program, but also to make significant contributions to its growth and success.
