About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

deliver best-in-class amplification for Telegraph events, from concept planning to ticket promotion and maximising reach for event content.
Plan events which meet our criteria for delivering audience reach (primarily via off-platform content distribution e.g. social video clips), targeting an editorial focus area and appealing to a large audience of warm, non-paying readers.
Work closely with Editorial on aligning event propositions with their current priorities, identifying suitable speakers (both internal and external) and liaising with them and formulating the event content.
Own the full marketing lifecycle for each event: creating a marketing and amplification plan, promotion pre-event to generate ticket sales, venue branding, promotion during the event to maximise our livestream audience (where relevant) and post event content amplification.
Work closely with the social, video and newsletter teams to deliver multi-channel marketing and amplification, prioritising reaching new audiences off platform and using a mix of formats.
Own the ticketing process for each event: setting up an event article page on The Telegraph’s website, using SquadUP to create tickets, monitor ticket sales and manage all ticketing comms with attendees.
Work with our in-house creative team from briefing through to asset delivery to ensure we have high quality, distinctive event assets which are consistent across channels and platforms.
Work with our Insight and Analytics team to measure event impact according to our KPIs.
Where applicable, use paid marketing budget to drive incremental reach and engagement, working with our media agency and creative team to select the most effective platforms, formats and audience targeting to maximise performance.
Support more junior colleagues in the event team with stakeholder conversations, project management and logistics.
