Creative Marketing Specialist

For someone who creates engaging content, grows a brand, and knows how to turn creativity into measurable results.

Marketing is constantly evolving, but at ilovespeelgoed, one thing stays the same: a strong brand is built on content that feels authentic and true to its identity.

In this role, you'll create content that makes people stop scrolling and help shape how ilovespeelgoed shows up on social media, in ads, and in people's inboxes. You'll produce visuals, videos, and copy, discover what resonates with our audience, and help take our social media and advertising performance to the next level.

You'll take ownership of your projects while working closely with our Head of Marketing and the rest of the team whenever collaboration is needed.

What You'll Do

Create compelling content

You'll independently develop and produce marketing content for social media, newsletters, and our website. From the initial idea to the final post, you'll create visuals, videos, and copy that reflect everything ilovespeelgoed stands for.

Grow our social media presence

You'll manage our social media channels (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest) and build relationships with influencers and content creators. From the first conversation to successful collaborations, you'll focus on partnerships that deliver measurable results in reach and sales.

You'll also set up and manage paid social campaigns, overseeing budgets, targeting, and performance.

Turn insights into action

You'll dive into the data behind your content and campaigns, identify what's working (and what isn't), and use those insights to create better content and make smarter marketing decisions.

Who You Are

You have a bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience. What matters most to us isn't necessarily your educational background, but how you think, write, learn, and take responsibility.

You don't need to know everything yet. What matters is that you're curious, eager to learn, and motivated to keep improving.

You'll be a great fit if you:
- Love creating content that gets people talking and engaging;
- Have at least 2 years of experience in content creation, social media, or paid marketing;
- Have experience with or a strong interest in influencer marketing;
- Have experience managing paid social campaigns through Meta;
- Are confident using Canva and ideally have experience with Photoshop, Illustrator, and/or InDesign;
- Feel just as comfortable coming up with creative concepts as analyzing a performance dashboard;
- Can write clearly and persuasively in both Dutch and English;
- Are excited to work full-time as part of a close-knit team.
