Job description

A person's interest can change in the space of one conversation.

Someone walks past a promotional display. You introduce yourself, explain what the campaign is about, and give them a reason to stop. Maybe they ask a question. Maybe they decide it's not for them. Either way, you've had a real interaction, and you've learned something from it.

At Finish Line Promotions, that's where marketing happens.

We're a Charlotte-based face-to-face marketing company that helps client organisations connect with new audiences through in-person campaigns.

As a Marketing Associate, you'll actively approach people, represent campaigns, and help interested individuals become customers or supporters. This is a hands-on marketing role, not a digital marketing or office-based position.

Turning Conversations Into Results

You'll work at promotional events, pop-ups, retail locations, and other designated campaign sites across Charlotte.

Your work will involve:

• Starting friendly, professional conversations with members of the public.
• Explaining products, services, offers, or campaign initiatives clearly.
• Listening, answering questions, and responding confidently to objections.
• Helping interested people complete purchases, registrations, or sign-ups.
• Working with teammates toward customer acquisition goals and campaign targets.
• Reviewing your performance and applying feedback to improve.

Not every conversation leads to a result. What matters is building the skills to communicate effectively, stay professional, and keep improving.

What You Get at Finish Line Promotions

You don't need previous marketing experience. You'll receive paid, structured training to learn the campaigns, practice customer conversations, and develop practical skills.

The employment package includes:

• Weekly base pay, plus performance-based bonuses.
• Full-time, W-2 employment in Charlotte.
• Ongoing coaching, mentorship, and performance feedback.
• Health and wellness support, including virtual healthcare and mental health services.
• Regular team socials and performance recognition.
• Opportunities to earn additional responsibilities and develop leadership skills.

Consistent results, professionalism, and readiness can open the door to supporting newer teammates or taking on greater responsibility. Advancement is earned, not automatic.

What Matters More Than Your Resume

We're interested in people who communicate respectfully, enjoy meeting others, and are willing to initiate conversations.

You'll need to be reliable, open to coaching, comfortable working toward goals, authorised to work in the United States, and able to commute reliably to campaign locations throughout Charlotte.

Experience in retail, hospitality, customer service, sales, or volunteering is helpful, but not required.

Your Next Conversation Could Be With Us

If you want practical experience, a team that takes improvement seriously, and work where your communication skills make a measurable difference, we'd like to hear from you.
