Overview
Home. There’s no place like it. And there’s no feeling like helping people create the joy of feeling truly at home.
At Dunelm, that’s what we do.
We’re the UK's number one choice for homewares because we make home life lovelier for our customers. And the caring and supportive culture we've created makes this a place you'll feel right at home too.
The purpose of the Brand Marketing team is to
generate increased brand love, awareness and consideration in customers,
encouraging existing customers to shop more with us and new customers to
consider Dunelm as a shopping destination. Our brand platform, The Home
of Homes, is supported by owned channels, including ATL and organic social, as
well as earned media and influencer engagement, underpinned by consistent
creative and tone of voice. We work closely with the Commercial
teams, Digital Trading and Digital Marketing to ensure the seamless promotion
of our fantastic product offering and the work we do as a responsible retailer
to support our local communities and the world in which we operate.
Do you have a knack for capturing the perfect shot? Are you passionate about photography and ready to make our homewares shine? We're looking for a talented Photographer to join our warm and welcoming team.
