EVENT MARKETING MANAGER

MA Exhibitions – Events (Data Driven Focus)

Celebrating 40 years of industry leadership, Mark Allen invites you to join a culture driven by passion, creativity, fairness, and a commitment to nurturing talent.

With 550 talented individuals across seven offices, we’re excited to recruit an Event Marketing Manager for our exhibitions team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a confident, motivated event marketer who enjoys working collaboratively across teams and is comfortable taking the lead on delivering high-impact, data-driven campaigns.

You’ll be responsible for developing and delivering multi-channel marketing strategies to support two exciting events within the MA Exhibitions portfolio. The role involves campaign execution, audience segmentation, and reporting.

You will manage multiple campaigns simultaneously, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and adherence to deadlines.

Reporting to the Head of Marketing for MA Exhibitions and working closely with the relevant Event Directors, you’ll take ownership of your events, shape campaign direction, and ensure delivery against key targets.
