About the Role
The Garment People is looking for an Apparel Marketing & Brand Communications Executive who combines a
solid understanding of apparel manufacturing with creativity & communication skills, and an interest in digital
marketing.
This is not a conventional digital marketing or a merchandising role.
We are looking for someone who understands how garments are made from yarn and fabric development to
knitting, dyeing, garment construction, embellishments, finishing, and quality and can translate this
knowledge into engaging content and marketing campaigns for an international B2B audience.
The ideal candidate will have technical understanding of knitwear manufacturing, strong communication and

relevant B2B platforms, including content planning, publishing, and engagement.
Campaign Development:
Conceptualize and execute creative marketing campaigns that communicate the
company's capabilities, expertise, products, and value proposition to prospective international buyers.
Email Marketing: Develop and execute targeted B2B email marketing campaigns, including campaign concepts,
copy, content, and coordination of outreach to prospective customers.
SEO Optimization: Optimize website content to improve organic visibility for relevant apparel sourcing,
knitwear, and manufacturing searches.
Blogs & Website Content: Research and develop blogs, articles, product stories, capability pages, and other
website content relevant to apparel brands and buyers.
Content Planning: Develop and maintain a structured content calendar aligned with the company's marketing
priorities, product developments, target markets, and industry events.
Industry Research: Stay updated on apparel trends, materials, manufacturing technologies, sustainability
developments, and changing buyer requirements to identify relevant marketing and content opportunities.
Offline Marketing: Participate in leading trade fairs relevant to the company's business

International Travel
While the position will be based out of our Kolkata office, the role offers hands-on exposure to both apparel
manufacturing and international markets.
The candidate will be required to travel to Bangladesh to the tune of understanding the company's production
ecosystem and processes.
There will also be opportunities for occasional travel to Europe and other international markets to attend
apparel trade fairs, exhibitions, and industry events, providing direct exposure to international buyers, brands,
and emerging industry trends.
Candidates should therefore be comfortable with international travel as part of the role.
