Job Description

It is vital that you follow the instructions given or your application WILL NOT be considered.

Lincolnshire's heritage is rich and diverse, with a variety of heritage sites that offer valuable opportunities to explore and share stories from the past. Many of these sites already have established educational programs that cater to young people, particularly those visiting as part of their formal education. However, some venues recognise the need for improvement in attracting and engaging young people.

These heritage sites face a growing challenge: to remain relevant, they must adapt to the interests and needs of young people and families. If these venues fail to evolve, the sustainability of the heritage they protect could be at risk.

This three-year Future of the Past project aims to address this challenge by involving groups of young people, aged 11-25, in six heritage sites across the County. These young people are working alongside site staff, with support from arts and heritage specialists, to reinterpret Lincolnshire's history through a youth perspective. The goal is to make the sites more engaging and relevant, not only for young people but also for families and other visitors.

The successful consultant or company will join the project at an exciting stage -- at the beginning of its second year. SoundLincs is seeking an experienced marketing consultant or agency to collaborate with the six heritage venues involved in the project. The primary focus will be to develop and enhance the marketing strategies for these venues, making them more appealing and accessible to young people, families, and the wider public.

Key responsibilities include:

Marketing Strategy Development

Marketing Training

Promotion

Collaboration with Local Tourism Teams

The consultant will be instrumental in ensuring that the marketing efforts are aligned with the project's goal of increasing visitor numbers and promoting the heritage sites as dynamic, engaging destinations for modern audiences.
