  • Partner with MKTG creative, finance, and agency leadership to coordinate resources and support program execution.
  • Review client deliverables, presentations, event documentation, post-event reports, and recommendations.

  • Evaluate program performance and identify opportunities to improve processes, enhance attendee experiences, and strengthen future programs.
  • Coach, mentor, and develop team members, fostering a collaborative, high-performing culture.
  • Support business development efforts, including client pitches, proposals, and expanding opportunities within existing accounts as they arise.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
