Overview

The Marketing Manager is responsible for developing and executing comprehensive marketing strategies to enhance brand visibility, drive customer engagement, and achieve business objectives.

This role involves overseeing marketing strategy, audience growth, digital performance, CRM, paid media, campaign planning, market research, and reporting, while coordinating closely with the Strategic Communications Manager on public relations and media activity.

The Marketing Manager works closely with cross-functional teams to ensure cohesive messaging and alignment with the overall business strategy.

A critical focus will be to own the orchestra’s digital performance marketing and CRM engine, ensuring that awareness, traffic, engagement, and customer data are translated into measurable ticket sales, audience growth, and repeat attendance.

This role is also responsible for paid digital media, social channel governance, influencer strategy, conversion optimization, CRM and database growth, media planning, event-page performance, audience segmentation, lookalikes, lifecycle/email journeys, and end-to-end reporting across the digital ticket-sales funnel.

Strategic Planning

  • Develops and implements marketing strategies and plans that align with the UAENO's goals and objectives.
  • Conducts market research and analysis to identify opportunities, trends, and competitor insights.
  • Collaborates with senior management to establish marketing goals, budgets, and KPIs.

  • Utilizes analytics tools to measure the effectiveness of digital marketing efforts and adjust strategies accordingly.
  • Stays current with emerging digital marketing trends and technologies.

Digital Performance And Ticketing Funnel Ownership

  • Own digital contribution to ticket sales for concerts, family series, special projects, and season campaigns, ensuring that digital campaigns are measured against sales, revenue, CPA, and ROAS rather than soft engagement metrics alone.
  • Manage the full digital conversion funnel from ad exposure and click-through to landing page, event page, cart, and completed purchase, identifying friction points and taking corrective action.
  • Work closely with the ticketing platform or box office function to ensure event pages, website listings, tracking, UTM links, promo codes, seat-map links, conversion pixels, and sales attribution are configured, QA-checked, and documented properly.

Media Planning And Buying

  • Build and manage media plans for all priority campaigns, including audience strategy, budget allocation, channel mix, format selection, timelines, and optimization logic.
  • Set up, manage, and optimize paid campaigns across Meta, Google, YouTube, display, and other relevant channels to support both always-on brand building and event-specific conversion goals.
  • Continuously assess audience performance, creative performance, and platform efficiency to refine spend allocation and improve campaign outcomes.

Crm And Customer Data

  • Own the marketing CRM and its integration with ticketing, email, and lead-generation channels, ensuring clean data capture, segmentation, consent management, and reporting.
  • Build and manage audience segments based on language, interest, attendance history, engagement, and value, and use them to drive smarter campaign targeting and customer journeys.
  • Create and maintain lookalike and retargeting audiences based on CRM data, site visitors, engaged users, and past buyers.
  • Maintain CRM data hygiene, source tracking, audience taxonomy, duplicate management, and documentation.

Email, WhatsApp, and Customer Journeys

  • Design and execute lifecycle communications including welcome journeys, event announcements, reminders, last-chance pushes, post-event follow-up, cross-sell, and re-engagement campaigns.
  • Manage email and messaging calendars to support event campaigns and always-on audience nurturing.
  • Track open rates, click-through rates, conversion rates, unsubscribe patterns, and sales contribution, and optimize journeys accordingly.

Social Media And Digital Channels

  • Own social media strategy, governance, paid/organic integration, channel priorities, approval workflow, and performance expectations, while the Social Media Specialist manages day-to-day organic scheduling, publishing, community management, and content reporting.
  • Coordinate with designers, videographers, agencies, and production partners to produce high-performing creative assets for both organic and paid use.
  • Develop and implement influencer and creator strategies that align with business goals, audience priorities, communications sensitivities, and ticket-sales objectives.

Measurement, Reporting, and Insight

  • Build and maintain baseline dashboards covering traffic, conversion, ticket sales, CRM growth, campaign spend, CPA, ROAS, repeat attendance indicators, social performance, and communications inputs supplied by the Strategic Communications Manager.
  • Integrate communications metrics such as share of voice, sentiment, message pull-through, and media outcomes into the wider marketing dashboard in partnership with the Strategic Communications Manager.
  • Produce weekly campaign reports and post-event wash-ups with clear recommendations on spend shifts, segment opportunities, conversion improvements, and future tests.
