You’ll double down on what is currently working (content) while experimenting with new growth levers.

You'll take over a nascent but very exciting performance marketing channel to broaden our reach, build our brand, and run campaigns that drive ABX stage movement across top, middle, and bottom of the funnel.

Working closely with Sales, you'll spearhead field marketing efforts including conferences, private events, and much bigger campaigns such as our RV Roadshow https://www.getzuma.com/rv-tour-hub!
