Job description

At Clarion, our people are at the absolute heart of what we do. We're proud that our core values of PASSION, CARE, IMAGINATION, and TRUST define the way we carry out our work across all of our exhibitions and conferences.

If you share our values and want to be a part of a successful, dynamic, and creative global business, then we want to hear from you.

The Opportunity:

Clarion's Digital Marketing Division is the home of market-leading brands Affiliate Summit & Creator Economy Live. This role will work across the portfolio but primarily on Creator Economy Live.

Clarion's Digital Marketing Portfolio run the largest affiliate, partnership and influencer marketing events in the world attracting thousands of advertisers, brands, networks, agencies and affiliates from the US and around the globe.

Affiliate Summit runs twice a year on the East and West Coast (hello, NYC and Vegas). In 2023 we launched Creator Economy Live - the first and largest event to focus on influencer marketing for enterprise brands - due to the success of its launch, we are now launching on the East Coast in the Big Apple!

We don't run your typical conference, so if you're looking for a bunch of folks in grey suits, we might not be for you. We bring together SMEs, bloggers, influencers and the world's largest ecommerce brands.

Our Vegas show sells out every year, and as EVERYBODY is now shopping online, we continue to grow at double digit rates.
