What are the responsibilities and job description for the Internal Marketing Specialist position at Vision Advertising?
Company Description
How would you like to make a big difference in your job, and be the hero of the office? Do you like being showered with constant praise for being the rock star responsible for bringing in all kinds of new opportunities for the company (and helping us to create jobs)? Sound good? Read on! Vision Advertising is looking for a Brand Ambassador, our own internal marketing badass. We’re looking for the marketing rock star that’s a Jacqueline (or Jack!) -of-all-trades that loves variety and creating powerful results.
Job Description
Vision Advertising’s CEO owns two enterprises, and you’ll be responsible for doing marketing, social media, publicity, and networking for both brands. One of your responsibilities will be managing and executing the marketing for Vision Advertising, the 19-year-old marketing agency that’s carved out a niche for itself as a leader in the marketing space, being the defiant, thoughtful, and consultative purist in a market that wants to commoditize everything. Your other responsibility will be managing and executing the marketing for an emerging, upscale bakery-café in the Boston area that’s hitting the market in spring 2019. The café is positioning itself against local chains that have already proven the concept, and will be offering an elevated coffee, pastry and dining experience in a classy-yet-approachable environment reminiscent of cafés in Milan and Paris.
To excel in this role, you must intimately understand social media marketing, search engine marketing, and marketing as a whole, as well as publicity and networking. You must understand business-to-business trust-based sales, and the criticality of relationships, reputation and credibility to the sales process in the B2B environment. Similarly, you must understand the business-to-consumer reputation and word-of-mouth-based sales, and the criticality of reputation, visuals, and powerful storytelling in the B2C environment. A strong desire to win is a must – someone internally motivated that lives for the victories all along the road. You will be focusing your time on managing the two marketing plans, continually updating and implementing the pivotal strategies contained within, staying on top of best practices.
You can look forward to a culture of empowerment, personal responsibility, freedom, and great respect. You’ll get to enjoy a flexible schedule with unlimited paid time off. You read that right – unlimited. We deeply value our team members and enthusiastically encourage self-care, so our expectations of full-throttle peak performance can be met consistently. At the end of the day, we embody the “work hard, play hard” ethos.
