EVENTS MARKETING Employer Reviews

Promoted national fundraising events locally by visiting business locations door to door to raise social awareness in the importance of participating in these events ( Canadian Diabetes Association, Canadian Cancer Society, etc.)
Working alone at my own pace and successfully meet the deadlines.
Enjoyable meeting business owners I find the job not a – more... bit difficult. – less

As a senior marketing promoter, I am responsible for efficiently and strategically distributing event information ( in brochures) all around Greater Vancouver. This work requires professionalism at its finest, and a constant positive attitude as I would be representing many charitable groups. We also did street teams for various projects.

Great coworkers-- although typically they only lasted about 2 or 3 months before they were fired or quit. Expect to be micromanaged, but to learn plenty of corporate jargon. The pay was abysmal.

- Small agency with a handful of employees who are all great to work with
- Work day to day on a number of projects so no two days are the same- the variety is what makes this job exciting
- Long hours and some overtime are common but it has to be done to get the job done

Enjoyed motivating representatives, organizing and delivering presentations and coordinating distribution.

It was a very busy place to work. Constantly moving and lots of things to get done. The typical day would go from 9 AM to 6 PM. A lot of traveling was involved. The people I worked with were all very good to work with. There was not much room for growth or advancement. The long hours did not leave much time for a personal life.
