About House of Spells
Step into the magic! House of Spells is a premier, multi-fandom retail experience celebrating the worlds of Marvel, DC, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Anime, and more. As we establish our breathtaking flagship vision in the heart of Times Square, we are looking for a highly connected and creative Territory Specialist. This dynamic role is the face of our brand in the local market, responsible for building lucrative partnerships, driving in-store event revenue, and capturing the magic on camera for our global audience.
Role Overview
The Territory Specialist is a role blending business development, event coordination, and on-the-ground content creation. Based directly out of our Times Square location, you will act as a bridge between the physical store and our wider corporate ecosystem. You will spearhead outreach to fandom communities, corporate entities, and agencies to secure partnership meetings for our executives. Additionally, you will drive auxiliary revenue by selling and organizing in-store events, while simultaneously capturing high-quality photo and video assets to fuel our overarching digital marketing execution roadmaps and global content production.
Key Responsibilities
- Strategic Outreach & Lead Generation: Proactively reach out to local fandom groups, educational institutions, corporate companies, tourism boards, and event agencies to generate B2B leads.
- Executive Meeting Coordination: Pitch the House of Spells experience and secure high-value meetings for our executives and managers to discuss long-term partnerships, collaborations, and cross-promotions.
- Book & Run Events: Generate leads for, book, and organize in-store events. This includes themed fandom meetups, corporate team-building events, and private birthday celebrations. Additionally, proactively identify, pitch, and execute innovative opportunities to create brand-new revenue streams and optimize existing ones.
- On-the-Ground Content Capture: Act as the eyes and ears of the Times Square store. Capture engaging, high-quality images and videos of daily store activities, special events, and vibrant customer experiences to supply our digital marketing and content production teams with fresh, trend-forward material.
- Brand Ambassadorship: Represent House of Spells at local networking events, conventions, and community gatherings to increase brand visibility in the NYC market.
What We Are Looking For
- Experience: 2+ years in business development, field marketing, event planning, or community management.
- Fandom Passion: We are looking for true Fans. A genuine love for pop culture, fantasy, and anime to authentically connect with our core audience and community groups. Show us your passion for Fandom.
- Content Creation Skills: A strong eye for visual storytelling. Proficient in shooting high-quality photos and videos using modern smartphones or mirrorless cameras (understanding of lighting, angles, and social media trends is crucial).
- Communication: Exceptional pitching, networking, and cold-outreach skills. You must be comfortable picking up the phone, sending engaging emails, and networking in person.
- Organization: Highly organized with the ability to balance event planning logistics, lead-generation pipelines, and daily content capture simultaneously.
Why Join Us?
- Be the community face of a massive, immersive retail flagship in the center of Times Square.
- Directly impact the brand's growth by working closely with global digital marketing and content production leadership to shape our external visual identity.
- Engaging, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same—one day you are pitching a corporate agency, the next you are photographing a massive Anime cosplay meetup.
