About GBB
GBB convenes senior decision-makers across real estate, hospitality, architecture, design and investment.
Our platforms include The RED Summit, Hospitality Innovation Summit and GBB Investment Summit, bringing together developers, owners, investors, architects, designers, hotel operators, government stakeholders and global solution providers across international markets.
We are looking for a Digital Marketing & Content Strategist who can turn that proposition into campaigns that get noticed, generate interest and ultimately drive registrations, nominations, enquiries and commercial opportunities.
This is not a role focused only on posting on social media.
We are looking for someone who can understand a market, identify what matters to a specific audience, develop the right campaign angle and then execute it across email, social media, websites, paid campaigns and other digital channels.
The RoleThe Digital Marketing & Content Strategist will be responsible for developing and executing digital marketing and content campaigns across GBB's international event portfolio.
- You will work across markets such as Saudi Arabia, India, Europe and other international regions, communicating with audiences ranging from CEOs and investors to developers, architects, interior designers, hotel operators, consultants and global solution providers.
- One campaign might involve convincing an international building-product company why Saudi Arabia should be its next growth market.
- Another might involve positioning an investment summit to investors actively looking for real estate opportunities.
- Another could involve driving nominations for an industry award, promoting a confirmed CEO, launching a new event, or turning market intelligence into a campaign that generates qualified enquiries.
- You will need to understand who we are speaking to, what matters to them, and what will make them act.
Key Responsibilities
- Campaign Strategy & PlanningDevelop digital marketing strategies for GBB's summits, awards and other initiatives from campaign concept through execution.
You will
- Build campaign plans around specific commercial objectives such as registrations, delegate acquisition, sponsorship enquiries, award nominations, investor participation or brand awareness.
- Understand different target audiences and develop messaging specifically for them.
- Create campaign angles based on market developments, industry challenges, opportunities and audience motivations.

- Develop campaign calendars covering email, social media, website, content and paid promotion.
- Work with the marketing and sales teams to understand which campaigns are generating meaningful enquiries.
- Continuously test new approaches when existing campaigns are not delivering the required response.
You should naturally think: Who are we targeting? Why should they care? What is the strongest reason for them to respond now?

The content should make the reader stop, understand the opportunity and take action.
