Hiring Digital Marketing Manager for Zephyr United (Our Tour Division)

By

Taste Vacations (or, more specifically, our overarching travel company, Zephyr United Travel Collection, which is our sister company) is hiring a new office employee to conduct the marketing for all three of our travel brands.

As you probably know, Zephyr United is a small company. We currently have 4.5 full-time employees (including Allan), and one of those positions is left vacant by our Marketing Lead to pursue a new career path.

We are specifically looking for an individual with marketing experience, preferably in the travel industry. The individual also needs to have an outgoing, caring, fun personality, as all our office staff also guide tours. The pay is not going to make you rich, but the lifestyle benefits are superb. Plus, you can work where you live as we gave up our brick-and-mortar office long ago (way before the pandemic).

Do you know someone who might be interested? Please refer them to the job description and application form. Application deadline is August 10.

    Unfortunately I was unable to attend last years event in Leeds due to a family commitment and was indeed hoping to go this year however my finances have become focussed on moving house.
    To be offered the chance to be part of EBBC2013 would be fantastic, however I feel it fair to say that I would not be able to travel up to Edinburgh from London until early on Saturday morning.
    Whoever wins though, I’m sure they will have a fantastic time. Thank you for offering this opportunity.

    Sure, if all I have to do is comment here – no brainer! 🙂

    Was reticent about EBBC due to travel/etc costs & not being a power-blogger. Utterly love Edinburgh though.

    Squid travels free… 😉

    (Hrm, 2nd try … 1st comment got swallowed?)

    • Allan says

      This comment went through. You should definitely not be reticent about the conference because you are not a “power blogger”. I think you’ll find all the bloggers are there to learn and all are happy to share.

      • Yvan Seth says

        @Allan: More clearly the travel/accom/time cost would be more justifiable if a power-blogger. (No probs with the citizen blogger ticket cost, note!) Think EBBC is an excellent thing to have on the UK beer calendar.

        P.S. I think perhaps I had problems with my original comment because I included the link to my site… maybe because it ends in an odd TLD some anti-spam thing kicked in?

        • Allan says

          That is what happened. Two comments went into spam.

          I very much understand about the costs. On the other hand, attending a conference might be the path towards becoming a power blogger!

        • Yvan Seth says

          Think the Web-2.0-ey comment-entry form is a little glitchy. Second time showed me the “awaiting moderation” & the 1st time nothing, just vanished. All good now 🙂

  19. Yvan says

    Well… if all I have to do for a chance is comment here, then duh… 🙂 Have been reticent about EBBC – down to costs & travel (and not being a power-blogger).

    I come with squid, but usually squid can travel free.

    Let There Be Beer is a great concept and will hopefully not only help to promote beer but will also help towards changing people’s social perceptions of the drink. I’m certainly going to be in Edinburgh and would urge you to join me!
