Specialist, Field Marketing

Reporting to the Manager of Field Marketing, the Field Marketing Specialist (FMS) supports the Field Marketing Manager (FMM) in establishing Red Bull as the leading brand within their designated region. The FMS serves as the local representation of Red Bull, aligning their efforts with global and national strategies and priorities to ensure relevance within their market.

The primary responsibilities of the FMS include gathering vital local insights and developing robust networks within specific communities and key areas of influence, including notable local creators.

Their objective is to engage new consumers and create meaningful connections that promote Red Bull's presence and objectives.

  Lead the creative process alongside Student Marketeers to ensure a continuous pipeline of fresh, innovative ideas aimed at fostering loyalty within the student demographic (e.g., conducting 'focus groups').

  Develop a comprehensive understanding of the consumer landscape to effectively target and engage diverse audiences across various consumption occasions. Employ both direct and indirect sampling methods in meaningful and relevant ways.

• Serve as a role model by embodying Red Bull's core values, maintaining a consistent tone that is both motivating and inspiring.
