Job Overview
We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Field Marketer to join our team at Running Light Beverage for hourly pay plus sales commission. The ideal candidate will be responsible for overseeing our regional field marketing events, with a focus on Virginia and ideally willing to travel into neighboring regions (North Carolina for example). The Field Marketer would execute the event sign-up procedures, set-up, operation, and breakdown of the Running Lights booth at various venues (sporting events/races/tournaments, street/farmer's markets, product demos at accounts). The candidate will be promoting our delicious, healthier alternative to standard energy drinks through various events to increase brand awareness and drive sales. The ideal candidate would be comfortable engaging customers with a passion for people, sports, and sales. You must be willing to travel and transport event materials (canopy tent, table, cooler with drinks, etc.).
We are looking to enhance our existing team with someone to work exciting events that mostly occur during weekends. If the person could only do one event/day a month we would still consider, however; ideally could work at least 2 events/days per month. This is a low-risk, relatively low time commitment position, or could be more involved and evolve into a more regular event.
We are open to creating more opportunity for work hrs for the right candidate that has impact. Some events have the opportunity to make sales and therefore commission on top of hourly pay; while other events will be paid only hourly because they won't have direct selling opportunities (samples only for example).
The majority of these events you will be working independently, unless the event attendance requires additional staffing.
Responsibilities
- Research & sign-up for slots at applicable sports and marketing
events, primarily on weekends.
- Transport event materials to in-person events across VA & NC. Set
up, operate, & break down the booth at events by yourself or with
other team members. Carry cases of drinks to and from vehicle.
- Collect contact information of interested consumers & clients. Create and run giveaways at the events to build contact list, and work with team members to ensure winners receive prizes.
- Conduct product demos and engage in sales activities during events.
- Represent the company at various events and conferences through
public engagements.
- Occasionally post about events on social media. At a minimum capture photos/videos of events.
- Stay updated on industry trends and incorporate innovative ideas
into event marketing plans.
Skills:
- Strong communication and interpersonal sales skills.
- Passion for sports, energy beverages, & event marketing.
- Ability to reliably drive with marketing materials across Virginia
and into North Carolina, potentially Maryland, DC, and other regional areas on occasion.
- Proficient in public speaking and presenting in front of diverse audiences.
- Familiarity with product demos and sales techniques.
If you are a results-driven individual with a passion for event
marketing and a knack for engaging audiences, we invite you to apply
for our Event Marketing position.
