Creative Marketing Associate

About Aklium

Aklium is a branding and creative marketing agency based in Muscat, with 13 years of London agency heritage. We work with ambitious clients across hospitality, fitness, F&B, and lifestyle, building brands that earn attention rather than buy it. Our portfolio includes clients across UK and US, but also expanding with local clients in Oman.

We are small, fast-moving, and high-standard. We treat AI as a tool to sharpen thinking and execution, not as a replacement for craft.

The Role

We are looking for a Creative Marketing Associate to work directly with the Director and become a genuine right-hand across the business. This is not a narrowly defined assistant role. You will touch business development, client work, social media, creative pre-production, and the day-to-day operations that keep an agency moving.

The right person is curious, quick, and hungry to learn. You will be exposed to brand strategy, creative direction, client management, and growth in ways that take most people years to access elsewhere. In return, we expect ownership, taste, and follow-through.

What You'll Do

• Manage and execute social media for select agency clients, from planning to publishing
• Support new business development, including research, outreach, proposal preparation, and follow-ups
• Assist on creative projects, including pre-production planning, shoot logistics, mood boards, references, and coordination with collaborators
• Help maintain and improve internal systems, client trackers, and project documentation
• Handle administrative work that keeps client engagements running smoothly
• Use AI tools intelligently to accelerate research, content drafting, and creative ideation
• Sit in on strategy and client meetings, contribute ideas, and learn the craft of building brands

What We're Looking For

• A genuine interest in branding, marketing, and creative work, and the curiosity to go deeper than the surface
• Strong written English. You can draft a clean email, caption, or proposal section without hand-holding
• Organised, reliable, and able to keep multiple threads moving without dropping any
• Creative instincts. You notice good design, good copy, and good ideas, and can articulate why they work
• Comfortable with ambiguity and learning on the job. We move quickly and you will be trusted with real work early
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience. Portfolio, side projects, or a clear point of view count more than a perfect CV

Nice to Have

• Working knowledge of AI tools such as Claude, Gemini, or similar
• Arabic language skills, written or spoken
• Familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, or Notion
• Experience running social media accounts, even personal or side projects

What You'll Get

• Direct mentorship from a Director with 13 years of senior agency experience in London and the GCC
• Exposure to the full lifecycle of brand and creative work, from pitch to delivery
• Real responsibility from day one, with room to grow into a larger role as the agency expands
• A small, ambitious team where your ideas are heard and your work is visible

Pay: From RO270.000 per month

Work Location: Hybrid remote in Muscat (Muscat)
