6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Experiential Marketing ROI

Overall return on investment for the entire experiential marketing budget, including all events, sponsorships, and field marketing activities.

Target · Achieve a minimum of 5:1 ROI across the portfolio, with specific Tier 1 events hitting 8:1+.

In Q2, the £5M experiential marketing spend generated £28M in attributable pipeline, resulting in a 5.6:1 ROI. Your analysis showed that shifting £500K from smaller regional events to our flagship conference improved the overall ROI by 0.5 points.

Pipeline & Revenue Attribution Accuracy

The precision of our multi-touch attribution models in crediting pipeline and closed-won revenue to specific event touchpoints.

Target · Maintain 90%+ accuracy in attributing event-influenced pipeline and 85%+ for closed-won revenue, as validated by Sales and Finance.

Your team's Q3 attribution model identified £15M in event-influenced pipeline, which, after Sales review, was confirmed to be 92% accurate. This allowed us to confidently forecast Q4 revenue contribution from events.

Cost Per Qualified Lead (CPQL) - Event Channel

The average cost to generate a Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) specifically through our experiential marketing channels.

Target · Reduce overall event CPQL by 10% year-on-year while maintaining MQL quality (as defined by Sales acceptance rate).

After your strategic review of event spend, we shifted budget from underperforming virtual events. This resulted in a 12% reduction in CPQL for the event channel, from £120 to £105, without impacting lead volume or quality.

Data Maturity Scorecard Improvement

Progress against a defined framework for data governance, integration, accessibility, and analytical sophistication within the experiential marketing function.

Target · Improve our internal 'Event Data Maturity' score by one full level (e.g., from 'Reactive' to 'Proactive') within 18 months.

Through your leadership, we implemented a new data governance framework for event platforms and integrated Cvent with Salesforce, moving our maturity score from 2.5 to 3.8 out of 5, significantly improving data reliability.

Strategic Influence & Board Confidence

Your ability to shape the overall marketing strategy and gain the trust of the C-Suite and Board through compelling, data-driven narratives.

You're regularly invited to present at Board meetings, your recommendations are adopted in annual planning, and senior leaders proactively seek your input on major investments. They'll quote your insights in their own presentations.

Team Leadership & Talent Development

The effectiveness of your leadership in building, mentoring, and retaining a high-performing team of data professionals.

Your direct reports consistently meet and exceed their performance goals, there's a clear succession plan for key roles, and your team's retention rates are above the industry average. People actively want to work for you.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Alignment

Your skill in getting different departments (Sales, Product, Finance, IT) on the same page regarding event data strategy and measurement.

You're seen as a neutral, trusted authority in cross-functional forums. There's a clear, agreed-upon data dictionary for event metrics, and disagreements are resolved efficiently with your guidance. People come to you to 'broker' data discussions.

Innovation in Measurement & Analytics

Your drive to explore and implement new methodologies, tools, and approaches to better understand event impact.

Your team regularly pilots new AI tools or advanced statistical models. You present new attribution frameworks or predictive models that genuinely advance our capabilities, not just incremental improvements. You're always asking 'what if?'

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Shaping Business Strategy

You'll spend a good chunk of your week in strategic planning sessions, presenting your team's insights to C-level executives and influencing where the company invests its marketing budget. Seeing your recommendations adopted and drive tangible business outcomes is what gets you up in the morning.

Your analysis shows that our Tier 1 events deliver 3x the pipeline efficiency of our digital campaigns. You successfully argue for a £2M budget reallocation, and six months later, you're presenting the increased ROI to the board.

Building High-Performing Teams & Capabilities

You'll be focused on recruiting top talent, mentoring your managers, and designing the optimal team structure to deliver world-class event analytics. You get a real buzz from seeing your team members grow and excel, and from establishing cutting-edge analytical capabilities.

You implement a new training programme for advanced predictive modelling, and within a year, two of your senior analysts are presenting their own models to the CMO, having been promoted under your guidance.

Solving Complex, Unstructured Problems

You thrive on tackling ambiguous, large-scale data challenges – like figuring out how to measure the long-term brand impact of a global sponsorship, or integrating data from 20 different event platforms. You're less interested in routine reporting and more in architecting novel solutions.

The CEO asks how to quantify the 'buzz' generated by our new product launch event. You design a framework that combines social media sentiment, media mentions, and website traffic spikes, providing a measurable answer where none existed before.

What frustrates people

Dealing with legacy systems and data silos that make enterprise-wide integration a nightmare.
Political battles over data ownership or attribution models between different marketing functions.
Having to constantly educate senior executives who still rely on gut feel over hard data.
Budget cuts that force you to do more with less, impacting team morale and project scope.
The sheer volume of urgent, high-stakes requests that land on your desk, often with unrealistic deadlines.
Recruiting and retaining top-tier data talent in a competitive market.

What this role does not give you

A purely individual contributor path with no people management responsibilities.
A predictable, routine day-to-day where you're always working with perfectly clean data.
A role where you can avoid challenging senior leadership or making difficult personnel decisions.
Complete autonomy without needing to justify investment or strategic direction to the Board.

8Who you work with

Your decisions will directly shape the strategic direction and financial performance of our entire experiential marketing business unit. You're accountable for ensuring that every pound spent on events delivers measurable value, driving significant revenue growth and optimising our market position. This role touches everything from budget allocation to long-term brand perception.

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

Proven experience (typically 12-16 years) leading and managing large data analytics teams, including managers, within a complex, fast-paced environment.
A track record of defining and implementing data strategies that have demonstrably driven significant business outcomes and influenced C-level decision-making.
Expertise in designing and architecting enterprise-level data solutions and advanced analytical frameworks (e.g., multi-touch attribution, predictive modelling).
Extensive experience with P&L management and budget oversight for a significant functional area (typically £500K-£2M+).
Demonstrated ability to communicate complex data insights to non-technical executive audiences and secure buy-in for strategic initiatives.
Deep knowledge of the events or experiential marketing industry, including its unique data challenges and measurement opportunities.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Generative AI for Strategic Planning & Content

Generative AI is moving beyond basic content creation to assist in strategic planning, scenario modelling, and even designing event concepts based on data. As a Director, you'll need to understand its capabilities to direct your team's use and vet its outputs.

Large Language Models (LLMs) for Strategic Synthesis · AI-Driven Scenario Planning · AI for Event Concept Generation · Prompt Engineering for Strategic Outcomes

Next 3 months: Task your team to pilot AI-driven scenario planning for one major event budget.
Next 6 months: Develop a framework for evaluating the accuracy and bias of AI-generated strategic insights.
Ongoing: Attend webinars and workshops on the latest advancements in generative AI for business strategy.

Quick win: Use an LLM to generate a first draft of a strategic memo or a competitor analysis report. It won't be perfect, but it'll save you hours.

Real-time Analytics & Edge Computing for Live Events

The ability to capture, process, and act on data in real-time during a live event (e.g., adjusting content based on live engagement, optimising foot traffic) is becoming a competitive differentiator. This requires understanding edge computing and streaming analytics architectures.

Streaming Data Architectures · Edge Computing in Event Tech · Real-time Personalisation Engines · Low-Latency Data Visualisation

This quarter: Research current real-time analytics capabilities of our existing event tech stack.
Next 6 months: Identify one key live event metric that could benefit from real-time tracking and propose a pilot.
Next 12 months: Work with IT to explore streaming data platforms and edge computing solutions relevant to events.
Ongoing: Engage with event tech vendors to understand their roadmap for real-time data capabilities.
