It is a treasured asset for Memphis, offering inclusive and free access to all.

Position Summary

The Sales and Events Marketing Coordinator is the primary execution lead for all marketing activity that supports ticket sales, venue rentals, and premium park experiences at Shelby Farms Park Conservancy. This role is responsible for translating sales and marketing priorities into accurate, timely, and compelling customer-facing content across digital channels, including websites, social media, email campaigns, and onsite event touchpoints.

The Marketing Coordinator supports SFPC-produced ticketed events such as Starry Nights, Canoes & Cocktails, Afterglow, Buffalo Run, and other premium experiences, as well as indoor and outdoor venue rentals. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role designed for someone who is digitally fluent, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable about the local events and entertainment landscape.

Core Responsibilities

Marketing Execution for Ticketed Events

• Execute marketing tasks that directly support ticket sales and attendance for SFPC-produced events.
• Build, update, and maintain event-related web content, including event descriptions, dates, pricing details, and calls to action.
• Assist with email campaign execution by preparing content, links, and promotional details.
• Implement promotional updates, deadlines, and messaging changes as directed by sales pacing and priorities.
• Ensure accuracy and consistency across all customer-facing materials.
• Support marketing execution for indoor and outdoor venue rentals, including updating venue pages and content, supporting landing pages and seasonal promotions, coordinating visuals and messaging with designated sales managers, and ensuring SFPC venue pages follow established SEO best practices.
• Ensure venue offerings are clearly presented, current, and aligned with sales priorities.

Digital Content & AI-Enabled Creation

• Leverage AI tools and prompt-engineering best practices to efficiently generate, tailor, and refine marketing copy across websites, social media, email promotions, and event descriptions.
• Quickly revise content based on guidance, performance feedback, or changing event details.
• Understand and manage basic asset requirements and formats (e.g., web banners vs. digital ads vs. social posts), coordinating with designers or vendors when needed.
• Maintain organized files, links, and version control for marketing assets.

Social Media & Influencer Support

• Execute social media content calendars by scheduling and publishing posts across platforms.
• Assist with influencer coordination, including scheduling visits or content windows, communicating expectations and deliverables, and collecting and organizing submitted content.
• Monitor basic engagement and performance metrics and share insights with the Manager.
• Stay informed about trends, formats, and successful event marketing approaches in the local market.

Onsite Event Marketing & Coordination

• Support onsite marketing execution during ticketed events and peak periods, including signage and wayfinding support, promotional messaging for retail and concessions, and coordination with the Retail & Concessions Coordinator.
• Observe customer behavior and experience flow and share insights with the Manager for future improvements.
• Serve as an execution support presence on site, not an operational decision-maker.

Data, Organization & Reporting Support

• Help track marketing activities, deadlines, and campaign execution status.
• Assist with compiling post-event marketing inputs, including what messaging performed well or where customers appeared confused.
• Maintain calendars, checklists, and documentation to support smooth execution across multiple events and offerings.
