ABOUT THE ROLE:

As their Event Marketing Apprentice, you’ll play a hands-on role in delivering and evaluating multi-channel campaigns that drive registrations, visibility and engagement for Skift’s global events. You’ll support campaign planning, help craft event messaging, publish content across channels and dive into campaign performance data to identify what’s working - and what’s not.
Success in this role looks like supporting campaigns that hit registration targets, maintaining high email engagement rates, and assisting in producing on-brand, high-performing content assets.
You’ll thrive in this role if you’re ambitious, detail-oriented and excited to own your work, learn quickly and grow fast. You’ll be trusted with real responsibility early on - they’re not looking for someone to “just help out”; they’re looking for someone ready to contribute.
Remote-first, no-travel role: You’ll work behind the scenes to make our events shine - no on-site attendance is required.

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Contribute to event marketing plans, calendars, and audience targeting strategies for global conferences.
• Create, schedule, and monitor content (emails, social posts, landing pages, etc.) tailored to each event’s goals.
• Track campaign performance using tools like HubSpot and Parse.ly, supporting regular reporting.
• Use surveys and desktop research to gather insights that help shape messaging, creative, and targeting.
• Work with designers and internal teams to create effective, on-brand marketing materials.
• Organise and maintain digital assets and ensure materials meet branding, accessibility and sustainability standards.
• Assist with the digital setup for webinars, email campaigns, and marketing activations.
• Monitor budgets, deadlines, and KPIs, and take pride in delivering high-quality work on time.
• Bring curiosity to the table: keep up with trends, try new tools, and contribute ideas to continuously improve our marketing.
