The posting

About HOLY

  • HOLY is the soft drink revolution: With our product lines Energy®, Iced Tea®, Hydration®, Milkshake®, and our newest innovation, the HOLY Syrup Bottle® you get amazing taste across 50+ flavors while maintaining a good conscience—for your body & the environment.
  • Over 2M loyal customers: Started in a shared apartment by three best friends, we have scaled to Europe's fastest growing consumer brand—and our cult-like community, the HOLY Squad, loves it: 4.6 stars on reviews.io speak for themselves.
  • From D2C to Global Omnichannel: In less than four years, we've profitably scaled HOLY to more than €250M D2C revenue in DACH, FR, UK and PL. Now scaling our retail business, we're on an exciting transition to becoming a true omnichannel rocketship.
  • We are still just getting started: Backed by the world's best consumer investors, we aim to revolutionize the soft drink industry and build a generational love brand: tastier, healthier & more sustainable. Our team of 200+ people aims high (Coca-Cola, we're coming for you!).

About the Position

What's the craziest way you could bring powdered soft drinks to life in the real world? If a few completely wild ideas just popped into your head – especially the ones you'd normally be too afraid to say out loud – this might be your dream job.

Plan crazy Creator Events, build HOLY's campus marketing from scratch, launch mass sampling activations with walking promoters in 50 German cities on the same day, or bring bold guerrilla stunts and unconventional brand experiences to life. As our Brand Activation Manager (m/f/d) – Special Projects, you'll turn ideas that sound almost impossible into unforgettable HOLY moments, owning exciting projects from concept to execution alongside our Senior Brand Activation Manager. Think big, get creative, make it happen – and make sure it actually delivers impact.

You'll join a hungry, ambitious Brand Activation team of exceptional project managers who combine bold creativity with commercial thinking and relentless execution to scale one of Europe's fastest-growing consumer brands through Consumer Fairs, Festivals, Sports Sponsoring, Pop-Up Stores and Special Projects.

Responsibilities:

  • Own Special Projects End-to-End: Independently plan and execute a wide range of brand activations, from initial idea and concept development to budgeting, production, onsite execution and evaluation. Manage timelines, stakeholders and deliverables, taking on increasingly complex projects with support from our Senior Brand Activation Manager.
  • Bring New Activation Formats to Life: Develop and execute creative initiatives such as Mass Sampling, Campus Tours, Retail Tours, Wrapped Cars and unconventional brand activations. Research opportunities, turn ideas into actionable concepts and help test and scale formats that bring HOLY to new audiences.
  • Create Memorable Creator & Community Experiences: Plan and deliver Creator Events, Creator Sponsorships, Community Events, Offsites and Internal Events. Coordinate venues, guests, production requirements and event experiences to create exciting HOLY moments that strengthen relationships and generate relevant content.
  • Connect Teams, Partners & Production: Work closely with Brand, Design, Social, Community, Partnerships and Content to develop clear creative briefs and coordinate deliverables. Manage agencies, suppliers and service providers, oversee onsite execution and ensure every activation meets HOLY's high quality standards.
  • Drive Performance, Innovation & Continuous Improvement: Manage project budgets, track relevant KPIs such as Trials, Reach, New Customers and Brand Love, and turn feedback into concrete improvements. Proactively contribute new ideas to the Special Projects roadmap and help build repeatable concepts, processes and playbooks for future activations.

About You

  • Experienced Brand Activation & Event Manager: You bring hands-on experience in experiential marketing, brand activation, creative production or event management. You've already independently managed events, campaigns or significant project workstreams from planning through execution.
  • Creative & Full of Ideas: You love developing unconventional brand experiences and have a strong instinct for what gets people excited. You're not just great at coming up with ideas – you know how to turn them into something real.
  • Organized & Ownership-Driven: You're structured, reliable and comfortable managing multiple projects, budgets, deadlines and stakeholders. You take responsibility, think ahead and proactively find solutions while knowing when to involve others in complex decisions.
  • Strong Communicator & Team Player: You're confident working with creative teams, agencies, creators, suppliers and other external partners. You know how to write clear briefs, align expectations and bring different people together to deliver great projects.
  • Hands-on, Flexible & Solution-Oriented: You enjoy the variety of working on projects that don't always have an existing blueprint. You stay calm when plans change, adapt quickly and are happy to roll up your sleeves to make things happen.
  • Commercially Minded & Eager to Grow: You understand that great brand activations should create measurable impact, not just look impressive. You're curious, proactive and excited to take on increasingly complex projects while helping shape the future of HOLY's Special Projects.

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.
