Publicity

The small publicity staff at Rocket are responsible for augmenting the publicity activities that all companies do to advertise their shows. Because of the large number of companies and shows we house at Rocket Venues, we limit our publicity activities to the area around the venue and also on the worldwide web.

Publicity staff need to have good communication skills, verbal and written, and have good interpersonal skills. Also, publicity staff should have good computer skills (at least one of the staff should have experience working with webpages), as one of the responsibilities is to maintain and update Rocket's website.

Publicity staff duties include:

• Preparing press packets with the assistance of the various companies.
• Answering any press inquiries regarding productions.
• Putting up posters and advertisements on the external boards outside of the venue.
• Daily scanning the Edinburgh press for notices and reviews and posting them on the external boards.
• Making sure that publicity for companies and shows, especially the fliers and handouts, are available and easily accesible to the public, tidy, organized, and replenished as necessary.
• Maintaining and updating the Rocket Venues website.
