Description du poste

Agency-side and ready to take things in-house? This one's for you!

I'm partnering with an exciting challenger drinks brand looking for a Brand Activations & Events Manager to bring its real-world brand presence to life.

If you've been busy delivering activations, events and partnerships for clients and fancy the opportunity to own the whole process for one brand, this could be a brilliant next step!

Think festivals, pop-ups, sampling, creative brand collaborations and activations that get people talking. You'll have the freedom to come up with ideas, build partnerships and take projects from the initial concept right through to execution - without handing everything over once the planning is done.

You’ll be joining a small, energetic team that loves doing things differently, where ideas can actually become reality and everyone gets stuck in. One day you could be developing a new partnership, the next coordinating an activation on the ground or getting products into people’s hands at an event.

What you’ll be doing:

• Owning events and activations from initial idea through to on-the-day delivery
• Bringing creative brand experiences to life across festivals, pop-ups, sampling and partnerships
• Building relationships with venues, suppliers, event organisers and exciting brand partners
• Managing budgets, logistics, staffing and all the moving parts that make an activation happen
• Spotting new opportunities for the brand to show up in unexpected places and reach new audiences
• Working closely with the in-house marketing team to bring campaigns and partnerships to life

What are we looking for?

• Experience in an experiential, events, brand activation or integrated marketing agency
• A track record of delivering events or activations hands-on, not just developing the strategy or briefing suppliers
• Someone who loves building relationships, managing multiple moving parts and making things happen
• A proactive, positive and creative personality who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves
• Someone excited by the idea of moving in-house, taking ownership and seeing the impact of their work first-hand
• A full UK driving licence and the right to work in the UK are essential

What's in it for you?

• The chance to move in-house while still working across a varied mix of events, activations and partnerships
• Real ownership of a brand's experiential presence, from the first idea to the final execution
• The freedom to be creative, experiment and bring your own ideas to life
• A close-knit, ambitious team where you can make a genuine impact
• A salary of £40,000 - £50,000, plus a hybrid working set-up
