Marketing Assistant

Marketing Assistant

(In-Person Events & In-Store Promotions)

Tampa, FL

We’re looking to grow our events team and could use an additional Marketing Assistant to help us with events and retail promotions across the Tampa & St Petersburg area. Our Marketing Assistants help a specific client improve their brand awareness, enhance their reputation, and increase their market share.

We’re interested in meeting with people that have marketing degrees or promotions experience, but we also welcome applications from those wanting to transfer into the marketing industry. Regular marketing, sales, and customer service training are provided in the office and we operate as a supportive team where people are constantly sharing ideas, success stories, tips, and more with each other!

You’ll primarily be responsible for:

• Setting up branded promotional displays & kiosks
• Representing a specific brand with integrity & enthusiasm
• Promoting specific products, services, campaigns or special offers
• Distributing marketing materials and conducting market research
• Tracking conversations and collecting consumer feedback
• Building strong consumer relations & producing occasional sales
• Answering questions, offering guidance, relating to customers

People with experience working in retail sales, customer service, hospitality, or similar backgrounds tend to do well as part of our marketing team because you’ll be working with customers face-to-face helping to influence their buying decisions.

In your first month you can expect to learn:

• Common direct marketing methods and techniques
• Basic sales, customer service and promotions skills
• How to build relationships with existing and prospective customers
• How to effectively read people’s body language and facial expressions
• The importance of having a winning mindset/positive attitude

In your first six months, you can expect to also learn:

• Tips for effective time management, organization and administration
• Campaign management & project management overviews
• Public speaking skills, influential language & motivational techniques
• Leadership, team-building, and training skills

What we offer:

The first quarter of 2023 was amazing for us and we continue to thrive as a team. A handful of people in our Tampa location are looking to branch out into other cities to further our reach, so they’ll be developing expansion teams over the next few months. This means opportunities for further development and progression into other areas may be possible too!

Marketing Assistant Requirements:

• You must be 18+ years of age and eligible to work in the USA due to the outbound nature of the role and the consumer data you’ll be collecting
• Full-time availability is ideal, but we can potentially accommodate two part-time people or seasonal/temporary workers
• Marketing degrees, qualifications, knowledge and experience are helpful, but not required for this position
• Retail sales, hospitality, customer service, or similar customer-oriented work experience is helpful, but not necessarily required
• A positive attitude and ability to maintain composure are expected. Our clients have a reputation to maintain and we need to live up to their standards
• Local applicants able to start work within 2 weeks’ time are ideal, but we will consider other notice periods and circumstances

All applications will be reviewed, but only successful candidates will be contacted (keep an eye on your missed calls and email messages so you don’t miss out!)
