• Campaign Localisation: Adapt and deploy global marketing campaigns for local market relevance, ensuring cultural and channel-specific nuances are considered.
• Retail & Trade Marketing: Design and execute in-market campaigns, POS collateral, and activations (e.g., samplings, events, coffee festivals) to support sales velocity and brand awareness.
• Distributor Support: Partner with distributors to provide brand training, toolkits, and ongoing support to drive aligned execution across retail, foodservice, and on-trade channels.
• Event & Sponsorship Management: Identify and lead brand presence at international trade shows, coffee events, and community activations with partners and baristas.
• Performance Analysis: Track and report on the effectiveness of campaigns and activations, leveraging insights to refine strategy and improve ROI.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the global marketing team to ensure brand consistency, and with sales to drive commercially relevant marketing support.
