Nashville Patch Seeks Grassroots Marketer

NASHVILLE, TN - Patch is looking for an energetic, talented marketer to help spread the word about Patch’s hyperlocal news coverage in the Nashville area.

Our Patch is updated several times a day, bringing our readers news on schools, crime, business — and most everything else going on around town. We’ve got the content, and you can help us get it out there.

More about you:

• You prefer a hands-on approach. Marketing for Patch, you’ll spend more time in the community talking to people than behind a computer screen.
• You’re a Nashville expert. Whether it's a holiday bazaar, a concert or a school fundraiser, you know where the locals go, and where the big crowds will be. Whether it’s posting fliers in busy coffee shops or posting up at a music festival you’ll hit all the local hots pots.
• You’re an energized self-starter. You don’t need an incentive to get out there and spread the word, it’s second nature for you.
• You believe persistence pays off.
• You’re a great communicator and above all, persuasive. With just a clipboard and some free Patch swag you can convince anyone to sign up for a newsletter subscription.

More about us:

We’re in our second year as an independent company that was spun out of a large, corporate conglomerate.

• We’re growing! Our web traffic has risen 95 percent in the last 11 months, to 20 million unique visitors per month -- due in large part to our stellar, 65-person editorial team.
• We value A players. Because we’re lean, we rely on a team of high performers who are committed to each other and to their communities.
• We’re innovating: Patch has invested in the latest tools to help us stay on top of community news.
• We’re on a mission. In an anonymous company survey at the end of last year, 95 percent of our editors said they found their work meaningful and fulfilling.

Expectations:

• You will attend 5 neighborhood community events in the Nashville area per week
• You will be expected to get at least 400 email subscribers for our newsletter each week
• You will need to have access to transportation. Be it bike, bus or car, you will need to be able to get around in Nashville

Starting pay for the position is $12 hourly. Please include resume and cover letter with application.
