Research & Measurement

• Review audience research, campaign measurement, and media performance results to identify insights that strengthen messaging and improve positioning.
• Oversee relationships with research and measurement partners, working closely with senior leadership to ensure insights support Trooh’s strategy.

Campus Screen Filler Content

• Oversee the strategy, standards, and workflow for filler content displayed across Trooh’s campus screen network.
• Manage a mix of internally created content and curated third‑party content, including securing and maintaining content partnerships.

Social & Industry Presence

WHAT YOU OFFER

• Bachelor’s degree with 7+ years of experience in an integrated marketing role at a media brand or publisher, including people‑management experience.
• Proven ability to lead cross‑functional alignment, influence stakeholders, and exercise strong judgment in brand stewardship, messaging, and tone.
• Hands‑on experience developing marketing materials, sales tools, social content, and outward‑facing communications, supported by strong copywriting and editing skills.
• Experience partnering with sales teams to craft strong pitches, using creativity, research, and measurement insights, is strongly preferred.
• Strong ability to translate research and data into clear, actionable insights.
• Working knowledge of digital marketing, social media platforms, and content creation tools, including Adobe Creative Suite, basic video editing, and Microsoft Office.
• Comfortable using AI‑enabled tools to support content creation, creative iteration, and workflow efficiency.
• Familiarity with the U.S. college or university environment, or the ability and interest to learn it quickly.
• Professional, outgoing, enthusiastic and a real team player that is ready to champion the Trooh brand
