A leading hospitality group in Port Elizabeth is searching for a digitally savvy, creative and forward‑thinking Digital Creative & Social Media Specialist to join their Marketing & Sales team.

This is not a “fill the calendar and post” role. We’re looking for someone who can bring brands to life digitally — someone who understands how to create content that captures attention, tells a story, inspires desire and drives engagement.

✨ What You’ll Do
You’ll work across a collection of distinctive hospitality and tourism brands, managing and elevating their digital presence through:

Creative & Graphic Design
Develop visual concepts and creative assets across multiple brands

Design artwork for digital campaigns, print collateral, promotions and presentations

Maintain brand consistency while keeping content fresh and contemporary

Adapt creative for various platforms and formats

Social Media & Content Creation
Manage and grow Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn and emerging platforms

Create engaging digital content — static, video, reels, stories and more

Build content calendars around seasons, events, promotions and experiences

Write compelling captions, headlines and digital copy

Use insights and analytics to refine and improve content performance

Stay ahead of trends, algorithms and best practices

Photography & Videography
Identify opportunities for authentic, spontaneous content

Edit and repurpose content for multiple digital platforms

Digital Innovation
Explore new AI tools, technologies and digital trends

Introduce fresh ideas to enhance marketing output and efficiency

Website & Digital Marketing
Assist with updating website content, imagery and promotions

Support email marketing, CRM communications and digital campaigns

Ensure digital content aligns with brand positioning

🌿 Who We’re Looking For
A candidate who is:

Naturally creative with a strong visual eye

Digitally curious and passionate about social media and emerging trends

Confident creating both static and video content

Proactive, energetic and full of ideas

Commercially minded with an understanding of how content drives business

Organised and able to manage multiple brands and deadlines

Passionate about hospitality, travel, lifestyle, food, wildlife and experiences

Comfortable experimenting, testing and learning new tools

Collaborative and team‑oriented

Requirements:

Relevant qualification or proven experience in graphic design, digital marketing or social media

Strong design skills and proficiency in design software

Demonstrable experience across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn

Strong written and visual communication skills

Understanding of digital marketing principles and analytics

Valid driver’s licence and reliable vehicle

Willingness to travel and work occasional weekends

Advantageous:

Hospitality/tourism/lifestyle brand experience

Experience with AI creative tools

Basic website CMS, SEO and email marketing knowledge

Experience with paid social media advertising

🌟 What Success Looks Like
You help the group: Create. Engage. Inspire. Convert.

Your digital content makes people stop scrolling, discover the properties, imagine themselves there — and ultimately want to book.

This role is for someone who doesn’t ask: “What should we post today?” but instead asks: “What can we create that people haven’t seen before?”
