• Conduct market, competitor, and media research and apply findings to campaign planning, pitches, and client documentation.
• Support social and digital content development, including drafting captions and short-form copy, assisting with content calendars, and repurposing coverage and event moments into owned-channel content.
• Assist with integrated campaign execution, including preparing and submitting sponsored content or advertising materials (assets, copy, ad forms) and coordinating deadlines with publications and partners.
• Build client-facing reporting and internal documentation (coverage recaps, meeting agendas/minutes, status trackers, basic charts/graphs, presentations).
• Support events and tradeshows as needed, including coordination of schedules, media/influencer logistics, onsite support, content capture, and timely post-event follow-up.
• Provide support to colleagues working on digital marketing efforts, including basic SEO and marketing automation tasks as assigned (training provided; prior digital marketing platform experience, such as Google, Meta, or HubSpot familiarity, is a plus).
