Marketing Executive

The global sports industry is at a major turning point, with everything from consumer behaviour to financial models undergoing transformation. Driven by forces both inside and outside the sector, it’s an industry in constant evolution. Whether they’re long‑established or a new entrant, every business must adapt across every aspect of how they operate. For over 15 years, SportsPro has served the B2B sports industry to help it navigate that change - connecting leaders, sharing intelligence, and spotlighting innovation to shape a smarter, more sustainable future for sport.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious marketer to join a leading brand in the sports media and events industry, with a core focus on growing and engaging audiences for our digital subscription products. Working within a 5‑strong team, you will support the acquisition, conversion and retention of subscribers through compelling multi‑channel campaigns, strong creative execution and data‑led optimisation.

You will:

• Own marketing campaigns for our digital subscription products, helping to drive acquisition, nurture prospects and retain existing members through clear, engaging communications.
• Create and deploy multi‑channel campaigns across email, social media, websites, paid and partner channels, using platforms including HubSpot, Canva and WordPress.
• Take ownership of our webinar and whitepaper campaigns, from planning, campaign set‑up and audience targeting through to promotion, follow‑up communications and performance reporting.
• Support wider marketing campaigns across the business, including our events portfolio, helping to drive audience growth, delegate engagement and commercial campaign objectives.
• Write persuasive copy for emails, landing pages, social posts, adverts and marketing collateral, ensuring messaging is clear, consistent and tailored to the needs of our audiences.
• Design high‑quality marketing assets that bring campaigns to life and support both membership growth and wider commercial objectives.
• Use data and insight to understand campaign performance, identify opportunities for improvement and make recommendations that support acquisition, engagement and retention.
• Work closely with the marketing, editorial, commercial and product teams to ensure campaigns are well planned, professionally delivered and aligned with business priorities.
• Support the ongoing growth of the SportsPro brand by helping us reach new audiences, deepen relationships with existing ones and communicate the value of our products clearly.
