About MBI:
MBI (Minnesota Brass Inc.) Performing Arts is a nonprofit organization based in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. MBI shares a unique passion for the live performing arts by producing ensembles and events, rooted in the drum and bugle corps tradition, that challenge our members to reach their full potential while inspiring our audiences. We currently support four distinct ensembles including a competitive drum and bugle corps, and three competitive indoor groups for percussion, color guard and winds. We often serve as a bridge between school-based music programs and national touring ensembles, offering rigorous training, creative expression, and accessible public performances.
The Opportunity
MBI seeks a detail-oriented, reliable contractor to manage and execute core marketing and social media activities. MBI has an existing brand, website, and communication channels. We are looking for a partner who can consistently produce and manage content, keep projects moving forward, and ensure our public presence is active, professional, and aligned.
We are not seeking a high-level marketing strategist — we are seeking someone who can get the work done consistently and well.
Scope of Work
1. Social media content execution
Develop and publish social media content (primarily Instagram, with cross-posting as needed). Expected cadence: approximately 4 posts/month during the off-season and 8 posts/month during peak season. Write captions, select or create visuals, schedule, and post content directly.
2. Content creation (graphics & video)
Create simple, engaging graphics and short-form visual content using Canva. Develop visual assets for social media, website stories, and email communications, maintaining a consistent style aligned with MBI's brand.
3. Website content management
Develop a website content calendar with input from staff. Publish one new story or update per month in WordPress. Identify outdated pages and recommend updates; coordinate with leadership to gather needed content.
4. Email newsletter project management
Serve as project manager for a monthly email newsletter. Coordinate content collection, draft structure, and ensure timely distribution using Constant Contact.
5. Content & asset organization
Organize and maintain a shared Canva workspace. Ensure templates, graphics, and brand assets are easy to access and reuse.
6. Content coordination & follow-through
Proactively identify content needs (e.g., missing website content, event promotion gaps). Work with MBI leadership and volunteers to gather necessary information and keep content projects moving forward.
7. Continuous improvement & practical input
Provide a monthly dashboard of marketing KPIs and practical recommendations to improve marketing effectiveness, content cadence, and consistency. Identify opportunities to better tell MBI's story across platforms.
