Manage social media content — especially for Saturday DJ Series and influencer collabs.
Assist the senior team on trend research and planning new campaigns.

Minimum Requirements:

Diploma or degree in Marketing, Fashion Communication, or similar.
1–3 years’ experience in marketing, preferably in fashion, retail, or lifestyle brands.
Some exposure to in-store promotions, visual displays, or campaign planning.

Strong sense of fashion trends and consumer behavior.
Ability to manage projects, stick to deadlines, and stay organized.
