TEAM is a highly acclaimed experiential marketing agency known for its innovative and strategic approach to brand marketing. With a rich history of executing creative campaigns grounded in deep insights and decades of industry experience, TEAM partners with some of the best-known brands to deliver extraordinarily memorable and impactful experiences at the point of consumer engagement.

The culture at TEAM is dynamic, collaborative, and driven by a shared passion for excellence and creativity, fostering a supportive and inspiring environment where employees thrive both personally and professionally.

The role being offered at TEAM is pivotal to the successful coordination and execution of brand marketing promotions and events.

The promotion of TEAM's value proposition is a key element, necessitating effective selling skills and a keen sense for uncovering additional avenues to serve client needs.

Field execution is another vital component, requiring oversight of promotional staff to maintain the highest standards, recruitment of new promotional talent, and operational management of promotional activities and special events. The role demands meticulous attention to detail for scheduling and recapping events, facilitating smooth communication with all stakeholders while confirming and selling sampling events to targeted accounts. In addition, the responsibilities extend to people development, where recruiting, training, and motivating promotional staff are paramount to ensure brand standards and execution excellence consistently meet client expectations.

Administrative tasks are equally important, including managing budgets, ensuring timely and accurate reporting, maintaining inventory and equipment, and safeguarding company assets.
