ppZAMU , one of the largest private museums in the world in the making, is opening soon. But do not expect a traditional museum experience. /p pWe bring together the largest works, quite literally, by the biggest contemporary artists: John Chamberlain, Frank Stella, KAWS, and more, on an island just outside Amsterdam. Instead of a single curator, we hand that role to every visitor. Or maybe not, because you can also simply come to escape the city and enjoy the surrounding nature, the architecture, or unexpected experiences. We have no closing days and stay open until late in the evening. /p pbZAMU is not a museum. It is a destination. ZAMU is an art island. /b /p pWe work with world class artists at the highest international level. So we are looking for someone who has proven they can operate at that level. /p pWe have spent several years building the exhibition spaces. The first stone for the brand has been laid. As Head of Marketing, you can help expand this into a story that will remain relevant in the year 2126, both nationally and internationally. /p h3Will you open ZAMU this summer? /h3 pAs a freelance Head of Marketing, you define the strategy, build the brand, assemble your own team of communication specialists and lead them. Together, you translate a bold cultural idea into lasting recognition with broad public appeal.
