We are a company that brings a growth mindset to all that we do. We try to keep things simple. We take initiative and are always forward thinking, and we do all this with a mindset to be happy.

The vision and function of the Sales and Marketing Department at Zen

Marketing is a marathon, not a sprint. With long-term strategy and goals, our measure of success in the marketing department is to reduce the need for ‘selling’. Instead we strive to build better brands by enticing, influencing and simplifying the consumer journey through strategic, relevant, consistent, efficient and agile strategy, tactics, projects, and metrics. Marketing across DTC retail, e-comm, marketplaces, and B2B channels, we do what is best for our brands throughout Asia Pacific - always seeking to advance and grow these regions for our brands. Most importantly, we’re always hungry for growth!

About the role

Working primarily in our office (allowance for work from home one day per fortnight), you will play an integral role within an agile crew of disciplined creatives and marketers. Your assignment will be to craft and execute savvy video and photography, digital content, and graphic design to maximise audience activation, retention, consumer engagement and advertising revenue for our brands. Motion design is something you’re keen to pick up and leverage across your creative palette.

The ideal candidate will approach their creative tasks with a desire to own the responsibility of development and delivery. You’ll have the opportunity to apply your skill set to any number of digital channels and a diverse range of video, digital, print and dynamic installations.
