- Partner with Content, Digital and Product Marketing teams to grow qualified organic traffic and maximise visibility across traditional and AI search experiences.
- Proactively monitor cultural moments, macro-trends, and industry events, leveraging WGSN’s proprietary forecasting assets to execute timely, newsjacking social campaigns.
- Brief, manage, and evaluate external PR agencies across key markets to ensure campaign alignment, budget efficiency, and high-impact media coverage against clear KPIs.
- Define channel-level KPIs across social, owned, and earned touch points.
- Continually analyse engagement data and campaign performance metrics to optimise posting cadences, content formats, and demand generation impact.
- Support the activation and multi-channel promotion of flagship global thought-leadership campaigns (e.g., Top Trends), ensuring maximum top-of-funnel reach, engagement, and cross-platform amplification.
- Serve as the main bridge between Brand/Social output and the wider Marketing, Content, and Commercial functions, providing regular monthly and quarterly performance insights to support overarching strategy.
