Demonstrated experience planning and executing marketing campaigns across multiple channels (social media, email, digital, events) with measurable results.
Exceptional organization, communication, and project management skills.
Able to manage multiple priorities, vendors, and creative partners while maintaining a high standard of quality across all outputs.
Passion for storytelling, customer experience, and brand building.
Ability to integrate into the culture of Contigo Catering and be a genuine ambassador for this brand no matter where you are.
Ability to work a flexible schedule that may include evenings and weekends for events, activations, and networking functions in accordance with business needs.
Ability to work at a computer for extended periods and manage digital tools, platforms, and communication systems effectively.
Ability to attend and actively participate in events, activations, and networking functions, including standing for extended periods during events.

Ability to set up and manage brand activations and event installations, which may occasionally require light lifting or physical setup at event spaces.

Nice To Haves

Experience in hospitality, food & beverage, retail, lifestyle, or events is strongly preferred.
You understand what makes a brand distinct and you know how to bring it to life consistently across every channel and touchpoint — from social media to a live event activation.
You don’t shy away from campaign metrics, engagement data, or booking analytics. You use numbers to guide decisions and demonstrate the value of marketing investment.
You prioritize independently and take action without waiting to be asked. You see opportunities to strengthen the brand or drive leads, and you go after them.
You craft content that resonates — from a compelling event recap to a social post that captures our culture. You know how to tell Contigo’s story in ways that connect emotionally and drive action.
You build genuine connections with clients, venue partners, event planners, and community organizations. You represent Contigo with warmth and professionalism, and you know that relationships are the foundation of a great brand.
Brand consistency matters to you. You notice when a caption doesn’t match the tone, when a photo is off-brand, or when a campaign asset needs refinement — and you take the initiative to make it right.
You finish campaigns, projects, and activations that you start — and over-deliver on expectations. You don’t leave things half-done, and you follow through on commitments to the team and to partners.
You don’t publish content or launch campaigns until they’re right. You hold yourself to a high standard and strive to build processes that prevent errors from repeating in the future.
You’re equally comfortable thinking strategically and rolling up your sleeves to write copy, coordinate a photo shoot, or set up a brand activation at an event. You don’t wait for others to execute — you get it done.
You juggle multiple campaigns, channels, vendors, and deadlines without dropping the ball. You have systems for everything and keep projects moving efficiently, even when priorities shift.
You plan campaigns, content calendars, and brand activations well in advance, while remaining agile enough to respond to real-time opportunities. You hit deadlines and help the team stay ahead of key moments and milestones.
You’re comfortable representing Contigo in a variety of settings — from industry networking events to community partnerships — and you communicate with warmth and professionalism. Our clients and partners feel valued, not like a transaction.
