In a Nutshell : You turn big ideas into unforgettable experiences—leading clients and internal teams, crafting killer strategies, and making magic happen every step of the way!

What You’ll Do

  • Shape experiential strategies that engage, inspire, and deliver measurable impact.
  • Pitch fresh, innovative marketing ideas that set CNC apart.

  • Create standout presentations that captivate clients, tell compelling stories, and make approvals a breeze. Your work is clear, engaging, and communicates the strategy, creative vision, and the impact it will deliver.
  • Monitor event performance by creating and discussing KPIs in the pre-pro process, optimize in real-time, and analyze post-event impact to win repeat business and assess for process optimizations.
  • Take responsibility for the financial performance of the projects with regard to budget recommendations, identifying gaps in budget and prioritizing using the project team efficiently to achieve program goals.

Team Leadership & Collaboration

  • Experiential Marketing Mastery – Expertise in activations, pop-ups, and live events ranging from B2C to B2B, you can work with any brief.
  • Strategic Thinker – Ability to craft and execute marketing strategies that drive business goals, taking what the seller has provided, the client brief, and CNC business goals all into equal consideration.
  • Budget & Financial Oversight – Sharp financial instincts with a deep understanding of event costs and budget planning. You expertly manage margins, collaborate with production to bring experiences to life within budget, and know exactly when to upsell—always ensuring smart spending with client approval.
  • Creative Development – Experience working with creative directors, designers, copywriters, and to bring concepts to life. You can contribute meaningfully to creative strategy but also know how to give creative information and space to execute on brief.
  • Event Compliance Knowledge – Understanding of permits, regulations, and safety requirements in tandem with production to help educate clients on the nuances of experiential.
