About the Role
We’re looking for a Marketing Manager who gets what it takes to deliver integrated, high-energy campaigns that cut through the noise and bring a cultural festival to life. You’ll lead the end-to-end marketing for our Festival — a six month contract culminating in a live desert event experience. From influencer strategy to press coordination to on-site brand storytelling, this is a true 360° role with impact.
You’ll be hands-on during the live festival period (including a required 1-month stay in the desert — food, accommodation, and amenities included). Think of it as part adventure, part career-defining move.
What You’ll Actually Do:
- Deliver the festival marketing strategy alongside LINKVIVA’s central marketing team
- Be the go-to for all things marketing with the client, partners, and media
- Manage social, digital, PR, influencer, and content marketing schedules
- Keep messaging tight and brand tone consistent across all platforms
- Coordinate on-site media, influencer, and content opportunities
- Monitor third-party agencies’ deliverables and timelines
- Lead on-ground content, comms, and quality control during the event
- Handle weekly reports and contribute to post-festival analysis
- Join briefings, client calls, and approvals throughout the project
About You:
You’re someone who thrives on momentum and knows how to manage multiple moving parts without losing the plot. You’re:
- Experienced in high-impact marketing campaigns for live events or destinations
- Fluent in Arabic and English (Arabic is a must)
- Confident leading communications and agency coordination
- Creative, organized, and grounded under pressure
- Available for a 6-month freelance contract, including an on-site period
Requirements
✅ 5+ years of marketing experience in live events, festivals, or tourism/destination campaigns
✅ Strong cross-platform marketing skills (digital, PR, social, content, on-ground)
✅ Fluent in English and Arabic (spoken & written)
✅ Available to work on-site during the live event (1-month stay required)
✅ Based in the UAE or open to relocation for the contract duration
