Your Role: As the Integrated Campaign Manager for News Broadcasting you will be dedicated to creating and driving our paid competitions strategy forwards. Sitting firmly in the marketing team, the role will require a hands-on self-starter to develop and bring our campaign strategy to life across our various Broadcasting Brands. You’ll be the go-to person for all things competitions, liaising daily with our programming, commercial and legal teams to ensure we plan and execute our campaigns in a creative and timely manner, whilst maximising our business objectives.

Day to day you will:

• Lead and execute our paid competitions across talkSPORT, Virgin Radio and Talk
• Be the key go-to person for all things competitions related, working extremely closely with various teams across the business
• Drive creativity across our future competitions, constantly thinking how we can bring them to life with our various talent and brands, such as Chris Evans for Virgin Radio and Alan Brazil for talkSPORT
• Analyse and optimise all of our campaigns, working hand-in-hand with our provider, Fonix, to deliver best-in-class campaigns that maximise business outcomes
• Launch and execute all new campaigns but own the roadmap for future competitions, including working with Programming and Commercial teams to source exciting prizes, which is a vital part of our ongoing strategy
• Ensure our competitions are compliant and legal having a consistent dialogue with the various teams
• Maximise digital channels across our websites, apps and CRM.

What we’re looking for from you:

• You are proactive and can pivot at pace, but remain focused in a fast-paced environment with multiple deliverables
• A previous background in marketing, campaign management would be required, and even better if you have paid competitions experience (but it’s not essential!)
• A people person - excellent stakeholder management skills, ability to engage with colleagues at all levels of seniority and drive our campaigns forward with multiple departments
• A strong commercial acumen, with a proactive approach on surfacing the paid competitions’ contribution to organisational targets
• Strong communication skills across the organisation, keeping stakeholders updated on the project status, clarity in briefing and articulating expectations from all stakeholders
