Marketing Specialist, Digital & Events full-time
This is where it starts!
Every day is an event at Northlands. Literally. We’re where everything happens.
And we’re not just talking about the biggies like K-Days, Canadian Finals Rodeo, Farmfair International, Canadian Derby and Northlands Park Racetrack & Casino, but also the hundreds of other events we host throughout the year.
This requires a constant stream of promotion that must be able to reach all of our potential target audiences. That’s why we need someone whose knowledge of the online world doesn’t just include a broad familiarity with current digital trends, but someone so tuned in they can start planning for how we’ll adapt to future trends that haven’t happened yet.
This is a leadership role for someone ready to take on the initiatives that not only increase awareness, but also gets the community involved and excited to take part in everything we do. It requires both excellent internal and external customer service skills, as well as a high degree of effective personal communication.
