Licensing Monster Supplies: freelance contract

Dead Good

Could you get us licensing ready? Bring your experience, knowledge and contacts to our unusual retail offer.

Hoxton Street Monster Supplies, purveyor of quality goods to monsters of all kinds, has global ambitions.  It is the trading arm of the Ministry of Stories, a charity providing writing and mentoring for children in east London, opened in 2010 by Lucy Macnab and Ben Payne and writer Nick Hornby.  

The fantastical shop behind which the Ministry is hidden has three goals: to show our commitment to imagination, to raise awareness of the charity and to generate income – all the profits from sales go to the charity.  Over the past seven years we have been welcoming visitors from around the world to our high street shop in Hoxton and sold our goods all over the UK through our online shop and our wholesale partners such as Liberty of London and Harvey Nichols.   But we would like to go further.

In Hoxton Street Monster Supplies we have a strong, desirable brand, and there is no lack of interest in it in the UK and from abroad.  We are now looking towards licensing as the way in which to exploit the brand commercially, we have already had a successful collaboration with Octopus Books in the shape of the Hoxton Street Monster Supplies Cookbook, which has been marketed in the UK and the US.  

Could you get us licensing ready?  This will include ensuring our style guide is up to date, putting together a portfolio of sales information, writing an ethical policy and advising on and writing an internal licensing procedure as well as finding and securing a suitable agent.  You will have the energy and drive to pick up the brand quickly and work with our staff to gather all the information you need.  You will have experience in this field, preferably within the charity sector, and have the contacts and knowledge to bring the project to fruition.

To apply, please send your CV and project proposal tojobs@ministryofstories.org, outlining how you would approach the work.

Deadline 5pm Monday 6 November 2017 | Contract schedule to be finalised (January – March 2018) | Freelance fee: £2000

Delivery information

We currently deliver to UK destinations only, via 2nd class Royal Mail or Parcel Force 48 Hours service.

Postage and packing costs:

  • - £3.50 for orders of up to £25,
  • - £7 for orders £25 - £50
  • - Free for any order over £50

This charge helps cover our costs and ensures your purchases support writing workshops for young people at the Ministry of Stories.

Our team of zombie volunteers aims to fulfil orders twice a week and on the outside you can expect delivery within 12 working days of order confirmation, but usually sooner. Unless something truly hideous happens, in which case delays of several centuries are not unlikely.

Returns information

You can return products if:

- You decide within seven days the product isn’t for you. You’ll receive a full refund, including delivery charge, processed within 30 days of return of the unwanted goods. Please send this with the original returns form supplied with your order, emailing us at shop@ministryofstories.org to let us know it is on the way. Please look after the product when you have it! Do not burn it, eat it, sit on it, drown it, or in any way cause it harm. We might need to ask for compensation otherwise.

- You don’t agree to a change in our terms and conditions or other policies, or you think the product is faulty. You will need to return the product with its original returns form. We’ll check the product upon receipt and email you regarding your refund. We’ll process it as soon as monstrously possible – definitely within 30 days of us emailing to confirm a refund. You’ll receive the full price of the product and delivery, plus any costs for sending it to us.

Please check the dispatch confirmation to find out more about your statutory right of cancellation. Returning a product doesn’t affect your other statutory rights as a consumer. Nor as a monster.

We try to use the same method to pay you as you used to pay us.
