Job Overview
Arcadium is a family arcade and entertainment brand with locations in Grande Prairie and Lethbridge, Alberta. We're part of a small group of independently branded arcades across Western Canada, run out of our head office on Mitchell Island in Richmond.
We're looking for someone to run marketing for Arcadium's two Alberta locations from our Richmond office.
Most of your week is social media — planning it, editing it, posting it. Our store staff in Grande Prairie and Lethbridge will shoot footage for you. Your job is to tell them exactly what you need filmed, then turn what comes back into content that performs. The rest is promotions, local outreach, and driving birthday party bookings.
This is a hands-on job, not a strategy job. You'll see what you make go live the same week.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Social media (most of the role)
- Plan and maintain the content calendar for both Arcadium locations
- Send store staff clear shot lists and briefs for what you need filmed
- Edit short-form video and photo content
- Write captions and post to Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook
- Answer comments and DMs, and flag anything the stores need to handle
Promotions
- Plan and schedule seasonal and monthly promotions — school breaks, holidays, slow weekdays
- Build the creative and posting schedule for each one
- Track what worked and adjust
Local outreach
- Build lists of local partners in each market: schools, sports teams, dance studios, daycares, community groups, local businesses
- Make first contact by email or phone so our store operators can follow up and close
- Keep the outreach tracker current
Party sales
- Drive birthday party bookings through content and promotions
- Make sure no party inquiry goes unanswered
- Follow up with past party customers to bring them back
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- You can edit short-form video and make it look good — this is the core skill
- Comfortable with Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook as a creator, not just a user
- Transparent written communication — you'll be briefing people two provinces away
- Organized enough to run two locations' calendars at once
- Self-starting. There's no marketing team to check your work — there's you and the owner
- Comfortable picking up the phone to contact a local business
Helpful but not required
- Canva, CapCut, Premiere, or similar
- Meta Business Suite or any scheduling tool
- Background in hospitality, retail, events, or family entertainment
- Photography or graphic design
GOOD TO KNOW
- Our office is on Mitchell Island, an industrial area with limited transit service. Free on-site parking. Please make sure the commute works for you before applying.
HOW TO APPLY Apply with your resume and a link to one short video you edited yourself — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Google Drive.
Pay: From $20.00 per hour
Benefits
- Casual dress
- Flexible schedule
- On-site parking
Work Location: In person
