The Challenge

ACL Digital needs a hands-on Digital Marketing Manager to execute a high-stakes May conference (alumni + virtual audience) while managing brand consistency across B2B/B2C initiatives.

2

Audit and enforce brand manual compliance across all marketing collateral (templates, color, logos, website); document brand violations and create remediation plan

3

Coordinate on-site conference support (May 15 & 19): A/V setup, run-throughs, presentation polish; ensure zero brand/technical failures during live events

4

Manage vendor performance (Reaktiv, Deviate) against deadlines and quality standards; conduct invoice audits and optimize media spend

By 6 Months

Deliver comprehensive campaign analysis report showing event ROI, email performance benchmarks, and audience segmentation insights (alumni vs. non-alumni engagement)

Establish repeatable brand governance process across ExecEd co-branded workshop collateral and corporate alliance pitch decks

3

Complete WordPress maintenance backlog (remove old events, fix bugs, optimize UX) and document site health metrics

4

Recommend paid social, podcast sponsorship, or display advertising channels for next cycle based on 6-month performance data and competitive analysis

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You thrive on event execution and can juggle email marketing, brand compliance, and vendor management simultaneously
  • You're detail-oriented and take ownership of brand standards—you'll actually read and enforce a brand manual
  • You have hands-on experience with Mailchimp, WordPress, and email design; you can execute without needing heavy guidance
  • You're energized by short, high-impact projects (3-month sprint) and can work on-site for conference critical dates
  • You speak fluent vendor and can push back on Reaktiv/Deviate while keeping timelines tight
Won't Work If
  • You need remote flexibility—this role is on-site in Cambridge with required on-site conference dates (May 15 & 19)
  • You're looking for a full-time, permanent role; this is a 3-month contract (15-20 hrs/week) with optional extension
  • You're a big-picture strategist who doesn't want to execute (no high-level planning here; this is execution-heavy)

Interview Process

1

Initial Screen

Phone/video call with hiring manager to confirm availability (on-site, May dates), technical proficiency (Mailchimp, WordPress, email design), and event marketing experience.

2

Portfolio Review

Share 2-3 examples of branded email campaigns, event collateral, or WordPress sites you've built/managed. Explain your brand compliance process.

3

Scenario Discussion

Walk through a sample brand audit scenario; discuss how you'd handle a vendor missing a deadline 1 week before an event.

4

Offer & On-boarding

Fast-track on-boarding to align with May conference timeline; likely start 4-6 weeks before event launch.
