Marketing Executive

Overview

We're looking for a proactive and organised Marketing Executive to join our team, working across two of the UK's leading marketing brands—Marketing Week and Performance Marketing World.

In this role, you'll support the delivery of integrated marketing campaigns that drive engagement, generate high-quality leads and increase delegate registrations for our flagship events: Festival of Marketing and PMW Unlocked.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll get stuck into the day-to-day delivery of campaigns across email, social, web and paid channels. You’ll be building emails, updating web pages, creating your own assets in Canva as well as briefing designers on larger pieces, scheduling social posts, and helping bring campaign activity to life—making sure everything runs smoothly and on time.

You’ll work closely with the wider marketing team to coordinate activity, keep campaigns on track, and support reporting so we can understand what’s driving leads, registrations, and revenue. Your work will play a key role in supporting the delegate sales team, helping to turn marketing activity into commercial results.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys getting things done, has a strong eye for detail, and is excited by the idea of working on leading industry events. You should be comfortable working at pace, juggling multiple tasks, and contributing to a busy, results-driven campaign environment from day one.
