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.
