The idea at the heart of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is simple: anyone with a desire to perform and a venue willing to host them is welcome. No individual or committee determines who can or cannot perform at the Fringe.
It all began in 1947 with eight companies – six of them from Scotland – taking a risk, turning up uninvited and performing on the ‘fringe’ of the inaugural Edinburgh International Festival. Over 75 years later, the Fringe has grown to become one of the greatest platforms for creative freedom in the world, second only to the Olympics in terms of global ticketed events.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society was founded by artists to nurture and uphold the Fringe's values of inclusivity, experimentation and imagination. We exist to support, advise and encourage everyone who wants to participate in the Fringe, provide information and assistance to audiences, and celebrate the Fringe and what it stands for all over the world.
We are seeking to appoint an experienced individual to the position of Media and Marketing Artist Advisor (reporting to the Artist Development Manager). Leading up to and during the Fringe, the Artist Development team provide professional development advice to artists to help them make the most of their time at the Fringe. The Fringe Society also has a media centre for journalists, helping the press to find what they are looking for without recommending or making value judgements about specific shows. The Media and Marketing Artist Advisor role sits within the Artist Development team, advising artists on potential marketing activity and media engagement, while working closely with the Media Office to stay up to date with Fringe news stories and media outlets who are in town.
Role and responsibilities
The successful candidate will perform a wide range of duties, including but not limited to:
- acting as a first point of contact with Fringe artists and participants for all their marketing, media and audience engagement queries
- advising artists on marketing activity to promote their show, including social media, print and flyer distribution and managing a marketing timeline
- providing bespoke one-to-one advice to Fringe artists on how to promote their show and engage with media, such as how to contact the press, writing and distributing a press release, and how to engage the right audience for their work
- providing structured feedback to artists on the content and structure of their press releases, and working closely with the Artist Development team to develop guides and resources to help participants
- working closely with the Media and Artists Services teams to stay up to date on various opportunities happening in and around the Fringe
- signposting artists to a range of online and in-person information sessions in the run up to and during the Fringe, as well as participating in panels for these sessions
- supporting artists with queries such as how to boost ticket sales, how to approach media and how to find and communicate effectively with their audience
- supporting the wider Artist Services and Media teams with the set-up and running of events such as the Made in Scotland press launch, Meet the Media, the Fringe programme launch and the Welcome Address
- support the Media Office by working with the wider team to upload reviews to edfringe.com
- support the Media Office with further adhoc requests.

Candidate Pack Teacher of Economics (and Business) Mr Oliver Knight - Head I joined Pangbourne in September 2024 and have had the pleasure of working with an incredibly talented and dedicated staff and Board of Governors to drive forward my vision for the school. Pangbourne is my fourth headship and all three of my previous headships were at inner-London state schools which I transformed by driving up the educational standards. I am passionate about bringing the best from the state sector and combining it with the independent school model to ensure the best possible education and opportunities for all pupils at Pangbourne. My two passions in life are education and the outdoors. Pangbourne enables me to combine these into the uniqueness of a Pangbournian education through access to our world-class adventure facilities set within our 230 acre site. This enables us to create an academic ethos underpinned by an adventurous spirit; where risk, failure and uncertainty are daily experiences. It is no longer enough for pupils to just achieve great academic outcomes. As staff, we work together to ensure that pupils are prepared for not just success in school but also success in life. Our aim is to educate pupils to be a force for good in an imperfect world. I am in the process of implementing our Campus 2030 plans and would be delighted if you applied to join me on this exciting journey for the future vision of the College . With best wishes Mr Oliver Knight, Head About Pangbourne With over 30 years of co-educational experience, Pangbourne College is an independent day and boarding school for girls and boys aged 11-18 years, set in over 230 acres of Berkshire’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the best four mile stretch of rowing river in the country. There are four pillars that develop and sustain a Pangbourne education: Academic Rigour, Exploration, Community and Leadership. These four components ensure all our students develop the attitudes, skills and behaviours that underpin success at school and in life. We empower each individual to fulfil their potential and develop the confidence, values and skills to make a positive difference to the world. Pangbourne was established in 1917 as ‘The Nautical College, Pangbourne’ with a vision to train boys to become Merchant Navy Officers. In 1969 the College adopted the name it has today and shifted its focus to an academic education, becoming fully co-educational in 1996. Pangbourne College is not a military school and only two or three of our leavers each year go into the armed forces, but we do proudly pay tribute to our naval roots through preserving a number of traditions. The eight Flag Values of Kindness, Resilience, Selflessness, Moral Courage, Integrity, Initiative, Industry and Respect underpin everything we do as a nurturing, pupil-centred community.

The Diocese of Ely is seeking a Rector of The Fen Edge Benefice, Cambridgeshire, serving the Parishes of Sawtry, Glatton and Holme, Cambridgeshire.
Rector of the Fen Edge Benefice
Parishes of Sawtry, Glatton and Holme, Cambridgeshire
These 3 parishes are situated close to the A1, 10 miles south of Peterborough and about 30 miles from Cambridge. Sawtry is a growing village with a population over 7000, and both primary and secondary schools; Glatton and Holme are smaller villages, with mixed populations of commuters and local workers. Agriculture is important to the life of the parishes, alongside those who commute to the major cities or homework.
The church communities have grown over the last 5 years, with growing numbers of children and young people and their families joining All Saints, Sawtry. In line with diocesan policy, we expect All Saints to become a base church for young people from the area, and will be looking for our next Rector to build on this area of ministry.
The parishes demonstrate a strong commitment to working together in pursuit of their shared mission. This spirit of partnership is actively encouraged within the Benefice, fostering a sense of unity whilst also respecting the distinct identities present among the church communities. Both contemporary evangelical with modern music and traditional worship with established hymns and liturgies are recognised and valued, supporting the different needs and approaches of each parish.
Expectations for the New Rector’s Ministry:
The Benefice eagerly anticipates the new Rector bringing their unique spiritual life skills, perspectives and passion to the role. The following aspects outline the ministry expectations and opportunities awaiting the new incumbent:
- Adaptable and Tailored Ministry: The three active parishes within the Benefice each possess distinct demographics, worship styles, and growth challenges. The new Rector is encouraged to adopt a ministry approach that is both tailored and adaptable, ensuring that the varied needs and characteristics of each parish are met effectively.
- Passion for Mission and Community Engagement: A core expectation is a genuine enthusiasm for mission, demonstrated through active engagement with local communities. The Rector should enhance outreach by employing strong communication and interpersonal skills, enabling effective interaction with groups of all ages.
- Children and Youth Ministry:Continuing and nurturing the growth of children and youth ministries is a priority. The Benefice values a Rector with a heartfelt commitment to developing these vital areas, ensuring that young people are supported in their spiritual journeys.
- Strong Relationships with Local Schools: Building on the established, close working relationships with Holme CofE Primary Academy and the Sawtry schools (Infant, Junior Academy, and Village Academy) is essential. Productive interaction with these schools and active participation in village life, with a particular focus on families with young children, are central to the Rector’s role.
- Equipping and Empowering the Fellowship: The Rector is also expected to encourage and equip members of the fellowships in their personal spiritual growth and the development of their individual gifts. By supporting church members in fulfilling their callings and sharing their faith, the Rector will help to advance the vision of ‘taking the church into the community’.
- Financial Awareness:The Rector will have an awareness of rural ministries and the challenges of maintaining listed churches to encourage our PCCs in the development of budget setting and fund-raising plans.
Our Diocese and Deanery offers:
- spacious modern rectory in quiet street
- friendly supportive chapter colleagues
- well funded CMD and support for clergy and their families
- generous and pastoral senior leadership
