Our Business: Trinity Mirror plc

Trinity Mirror plc, with an award winning portfolio of newspapers, websites and digital products, is one of the UK's largest multimedia companies employing over six thousand people across more than sixty locations around the country.

Our drive to capture, present and analyse the news inspired the launch of our very first papers in the early 19th Century. And today our commitment is just as strong. Whether via page or screen, our audiences get the trusted, reliable news service they have come to expect. Our loyal readers and advertisers are attracted by the knowledge, insight and vital services that our iconic brands (The Nottingham Post, Leicester Mercury, The Derby Telegraph, Birmingham Mail, Stoke Sentinel to name a few) provide. None of this would be possible without our dedicated employees driving the business forward.

What you'll be doing

Working for Local World as part of the Trinity Mirror Group you will work across our iconic brands - The Nottingham Post.

From large organisations to small local businesses you'll become their marketing expert as an extension of their business. With a consultative approach you will:

• help with their planning of yearly campaign advertising, 'call to action' campaigns or ad hoc activity
• design bespoke campaigns built around the customer needs, present the advertising solutions, brief your creative team and follow the process through
• analyse results and provide digital statistics to customers with full client account care.
• Educate customers on the best approach to print and digital products
• develop a clear understanding of their businesses, building trust and confidence

Apart from the opportunity to earn a significant income (base salary and OTE bonus), company car, tablet and phone, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, childcare vouchers, cycle scheme, holiday purchase and other employee discount schemes.
