New Beginnings: Starting My Role as Marketing Assistant on the Isle of Mull

This month, I'm embarking on a new chapter in my career, and I couldn't be more excited. I'm about to start my role as Marketing Assistant at An Tobar and Mull Theatre, a vibrant hub of creativity on the beautiful Isle of Mull. It’s a huge step forward for me, and as I prepare for this transition, I’m filled with anticipation for all that lies ahead.

A Job That Sparks Creativity
One of the things that drew me to this role was the unique opportunity to work in the heart of a cultural centre like An Tobar and Mull Theatre. Known for its dynamic mix of visual arts, music, and performances, it offers a space where creativity truly thrives. As a marketing assistant, I’ll have the chance to contribute to promoting these incredible experiences, helping to share the magic of the theatre and gallery with a wider audience.

I’m especially excited about the creative potential this role brings. From crafting engaging social media content to developing campaigns that capture the essence of the theatre’s productions and exhibitions, I know I'll have plenty of room to explore new ideas. It's a perfect fit for my passion for storytelling and connecting people to the arts.

Embracing the Beauty of the Isle of Mull
Beyond the job itself, there’s something deeply appealing about the lifestyle change that comes with moving to Mull. The island’s rugged beauty, with its sweeping landscapes, pristine beaches, and abundant wildlife, is the perfect backdrop for a fresh start. I can already imagine taking deep breaths of fresh, clean air as I settle into island life. The slower pace of life is something I’m also looking forward to. Having lived in busier environments, the prospect of more space, both physically and mentally, feels like a gift. It’s a chance to reconnect with nature and myself in a way that city life doesn’t always allow.

Moving Up and Moving Forward
While I’m starting as a Marketing Assistant, my goal is to grow within this role and the organisation. An Tobar and Mull Theatre feels like the perfect place to develop my skills, take on new challenges, and contribute more as I learn and evolve. There’s so much potential for growth here, with exciting developments coming in the organisation and I’m eager to make the most of every opportunity. 

I can’t wait to get started!
