Job description

Freelance Event Brand Advisor - Tampa, FL
Department: Field Sales
Employment Type: Freelance
Location: Tampa, FL
Compensation: $200 / day
Description
We're engaging an experienced, self-directed Brand Advisor for a one-day event project in Tampa, FL on September 18th to execute an in-store event activation for a high profile brand.
This event will take place at Ulta 746 Lakeland.
What the project involves:
  • Driving sales toward ambitious event targets during live in-store events
  • Executing event mechanics - GWPs, TOAs, and the specific focus of each activation
  • Bringing high energy and expert client engagement that makes the event feel like an experience
  • Rallying and activating the store team so the whole floor is behind the event

You're a strong fit if you:
  • Have proven prestige beauty/retail selling experience and a track record of hitting aggressive sales goals
  • Have run or worked beauty events and know how to create energy on a floor
  • Operate independently - you manage your own approach to hitting the number without hand-holding
  • Are available for the full set of event dates listed
  • Have reliable transportation to the event locations

The details:
  • This is an independent contractor (1099) engagement, not employment - you invoice for the project and are responsible for your own taxes.
  • Compensation: flat day rate of $200/event day, paid on completion.
  • You'll receive an event brief and brand education materials; how you hit your goals on the floor is up to you.
