Who We Are

Vox Media’s Revenue organization handles advertising and marketing partnerships with brands and agencies, as well as lines of business in consumer revenue and commerce across the organization.

Vox Media is the leading modern media company. We guide our audience from discovery to obsession. We inspire essential conversations about what’s now, what’s next, and what’s possible.

As a community of journalists and storytellers, business professionals, creators and technologists, we believe it is a moral and business imperative to amplify voices: to cultivate diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our organization and media. This applies to our candidates, our teams, our storytelling, our creative work, and our platforms, products, and partnerships.

We’re seeking a creative and collaborative thinker to support the concepting and development of experiential marketing ideas for editorial events, brand activations, and custom campaigns. This is an ideal role for someone early in their career who’s passionate about events, culture, and storytelling—and excited to contribute to creative strategy at a fast-paced media company.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop creative ideas for experiential campaigns, tentpole events, and branded activations
  • Manage select RFPs, proactive pitches, and proposal decks with creative thinking, research, and visual storytelling
  • Write pitch concepts with clarity, originality, and strategic intent—delivering standout creative copy that elevates brand storytelling across all platforms.
  • Scope estimated budgets for proposed creative concepts
  • Participate in brainstorms and help translate marketing goals into smart, relevant event concepts
  • Conduct cultural and competitive research to inform creative strategies and stay ahead of trends
  • Help maintain a working archive of event ideas, moodboards, and concept inspiration
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams across marketing, editorial, creative, and production
  • Contribute to building presentations that clearly convey event concepts and how they ladder up to client and brand objectives
  • Support the development of high-level budgets, timelines, and concept details for proposals

Pitch in on day-to-day organization, team operations, and meeting prep as needed

Who You Are

  • 2+ years of experience in experiential marketing, event production, branded content, or creative strategy (agency, media, or brand side)
  • Strong writing and visual communication skills, and experience building decks and storytelling in Google Slides
  • A collaborative mindset and curiosity about how creative ideas come to life
  • Interest in live experiences, pop culture, and emerging trends
  • Ability to manage multiple projects at once, stay organized, and communicate effectively
  • Experience with Google Suite
  • Familiarity with Vox Media’s brands and editorial voice
