As a marketing manager at my current position, I oversee & manage marketing plans for 100+ engagements a year. I constantly have to check in and monitor how the event's presale/on sale activation performed, how well the sales are currently performing, and build & evolve the plans as needed.

​

 As well as marketing, I have to ensure that all ticketing requests for every show have been processed and that any ticketing holds have been released so we can ensure we are selling as many tickets as possible. Ticketing is a fun part of overseeing a show. Holds need to be released asap, guest lists/VIPs need to be known by all members working on the show to ensure that the performance runs smoothly. This also means making sure I'm in constant contact with any comp holders so they can make sure they know what they're doing once they're at the venue. There's nothing worse than getting a text on the DOS and one of your comp holders is mad at you that about something going wrong. We love to avoid that :)

​

What I've truly learned these past few years is that a marketing manager is not just focused on marketing. You market the show of course, but you're also a social media manager, ticketing manager, box office manager, media buyer, keeping relations afloat between tour/venues/internal company, project manager, therapist, TicketMaster wizard, DJ, etc.
