• Enhance paid social creative effectiveness, working with internal teams and agencies to develop, test and optimise content, identify best-performing formats and reduce reliance on underperforming promoter-supplied assets.

• Develop integrated digital marketing approaches across venues and events, sharing audiences, insights, creative assets and campaign learnings to maximise portfolio-wide performance and audience reach.

• Provide reporting, insights and stakeholder support, including campaign performance analysis, partnership activation reporting, awareness initiatives and digital activity that supports on-site revenue opportunities such as Food & Beverage sales.
