Full-Time Marketing Assistant – Start ASAP

Marketing Assistant

Full-Time/ Entry-Level

Tampa, FL

We’re looking to grow our events team and could use an additional Marketing Assistant to help us with events and marketing 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, and 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:

2022 was a big year for us and we’re continuing to thrive as a team. A team of people in our Tampa location is looking to branch out later this year, so we will have several roles to fill over the next few months, and advancement opportunities will be available to top performers. 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 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!)
