We are seeking a dynamic Marketing Lead to join the team behind a brand new 3,000-person health and longevity focused conference and exhibition (currently in stealth mode) dedicated to living longer, healthier lives, with ambitions to go global.
This is a rare opportunity to play a critical role in shaping the delivery of a flagship event from the ground up. This role will involve creating and executing the conference’s marketing strategy, driving awareness, ticket sales, and engagement from both consumer and professional audiences. You will build the brand from scratch, shape the narrative around longevity and healthy ageing, and deliver high-impact multi-channel campaigns to position the conference as the go-to event in its category.
The conference will join the Founders Forum events universe, evolving from our successful Founders Longevity Forum series created in partnership with Longevity.Technology. We are developing this new initiative alongside Phil Newman, Founder of Longevity.Technology, who brings extensive expertise and deep connections within the longevity space.
Founders Forum is Europe’s prominent entrepreneur community, focused around a number of events annually where our guests engage in open debate, brainstorms, discussion and problem solving in an intimate and collaborative atmosphere – building connections and discussing how to accelerate the positive impact of technology on the world.
- 5+ years of senior marketing experience in large-scale events, exhibitions, or consumer brands.
- Proven track record in delivering audience growth and ticket sales for events of 1,000+ attendees.
- Experience in both B2C and B2B marketing, ideally within health, wellness, lifestyle, or tech sectors.
- Strong grasp of digital marketing, including paid social, SEO/SEM, and CRM/email automation.
- Exceptional project management skills, able to balance multiple campaigns in a fast-paced environment.
- Creative thinker with an eye for compelling content and storytelling.
