Description
The Museum of Communication aims to study, collect, preserve and exhibit items that tell the story of communication from the days of pre-electric telegraph to the latest state-of-the-art technology. The museum is run entirely by volunteers, and they are looking to grow their team with Marketing Volunteers.
The museum has permanent collections and temporary exhibitions that attract visitors from across Fife and beyond. They also host lectures throughout the year on a variety of historical topics, and engage in outreach activities in schools, clubs and societies in the local community. As a Marketing Volunteer, you can create social media posts and stories, take photographs and create content about events, exhibitions, and items to raise awareness of the museum.
If you would like to gain experience of marketing and are familiar with social media, this is the perfect role for you.
Organisation aims and objectives
The MOC has existed formally since 1993. It uses its extensive collection to inform, educate and entertain the public about the exciting developments in communications technology which have given rise to the way of life we enjoy today. It has mounted many exhibitions including a major one at Saltire Court in Edinburgh. They currently have a museum site in Burntisland that is free for the community to access.
