1What this role really is

This role is all about getting stuck in and learning the ropes of event delivery. You'll be the backbone of our event logistics, making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. Think of it as supporting the team to create memorable experiences for our customers, from the initial planning stages right through to packing up the last banner. It's a chance to see how a busy events team really works, day in, day out.

2What you'd actually use

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Vendor Selection (small scale, e.g., local printer)Research options, gather quotes, present findings to manager for decision.Recommend preferred vendor based on criteria, negotiate terms within budget, get manager approval for final selection.Select and onboard vendors for specific event workstreams, negotiate contracts up to £5K, inform director of choice.

Handle minor issues independently.Independently resolve most on-site operational issues, escalate only major crises, make quick decisions to keep event running.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

On-Time Task Completion
How often you finish your assigned tasks in our project management tool by their due date.
Target · 95% of tasks completed on schedule

If you're given 20 tasks for the week, we'd expect 19 of them to be marked 'done' by Friday afternoon, without needing a nudge.

Budget Accuracy (Line Items)
The variance between planned and actual spend for specific budget lines you're tracking, like merchandise orders or small vendor invoices.
Target · Within +/- 5% variance on managed lines

You're tracking a £1,000 budget for event signage. If the final invoice comes in at £1,040, that's a 4% variance, which is spot on.

Attendee Satisfaction (Logistics)
The average score from post-event surveys related to registration ease, venue navigation, and pre-event communication, for events you've significantly supported.
Target · >4.0/5 average score

After the Q2 webinar series you helped organise, attendees rated the registration process an average of 4.2/5, showing your efforts made a difference.

Data Entry Accuracy
The percentage of contact records, attendee lists, or lead capture data you've handled that are free of errors.
Target · 98% accuracy rate

You've uploaded 500 new leads from a recent event into Salesforce. We'd expect no more than 10 of those records to have typos or missing mandatory fields.

Proactive Communication
How well you keep your manager and team updated on your progress, flag potential issues early, and ask for help when you're stuck.
  • You'll be sending regular status updates without being prompted, flagging a potential delay on a merchandise order a week before it's critical, or asking clarifying questions during a briefing rather than guessing later.
Learning & Adaptability
Your willingness to learn new tools and processes, take on feedback, and adjust your approach when plans change (which they often do in events!).
  • You'll actively seek out training on new software, apply feedback from a previous task to your next one, and calmly adjust your schedule when an urgent request comes in, understanding it's part of the job.
Team Collaboration
How effectively you work with your immediate team, offering support when needed and contributing positively to team discussions.
  • You'll offer to help a colleague with a task if your plate is clear, share useful information you've found, and generally be a helpful presence in team meetings and on project calls.
Attention to Detail
Your ability to spot small errors, ensure consistency, and follow instructions precisely, especially when dealing with event logistics and branding.
  • You'll notice a typo on a proof for event signage, double-check that the correct number of chairs is ordered for a breakout room, or ensure all attendee badges are printed with the right information, catching mistakes before they become problems.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Seeing Tangible Results

You'll feel a real sense of accomplishment when you see an event you've helped coordinate come to life, from the banners you ordered to the smooth registration process you managed. It's not abstract; it's right there in front of you.

Watching attendees walk through the doors of an event you helped set up, or seeing positive feedback about the registration experience you managed.

Being Part of a Dynamic Team

You'll enjoy the buzz of working closely with a fast-paced team, contributing to a shared goal, and learning from experienced colleagues who are always on the go.

Thriving in the collaborative energy during event load-in, or enjoying the camaraderie during a post-event debrief.

Continuous Learning & Development

You'll be constantly exposed to new challenges, tools, and event types, giving you ample opportunities to grow your skills and knowledge in experiential marketing.

Actively asking questions about why certain decisions were made, or taking the initiative to learn a new feature in our event management software.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Swoop and Poop': When a senior leader who hasn't been involved suddenly wants big changes a day before the event. It's annoying, but you'll learn to roll with it.
  • Chasing Approvals: You'll spend a fair bit of time gently nudging people for sign-offs on things like creative assets or budget requests, often right up against a deadline.
  • Physical Burnout: Event days are long and demanding. Expect sore feet and mental exhaustion after a multi-day event. It's part of the job, but it's real.
  • The 'Party Planner' Stereotype: Sometimes, people outside the team might think your job is just about picking flowers. You'll learn to articulate the strategic value, but it can be a bit grating.
What this role does not give you
  • High-level strategic decision-making from day one – that comes with experience.
  • A slow, predictable pace with no surprises – events are inherently unpredictable.
  • A role where you only do the 'fun' creative bits – there's a lot of essential admin.
  • Complete autonomy over projects – you'll be working under clear guidance for a while.

6Who you work with

Your daily work directly supports the smooth execution of our brand experiences and events. Get it right, and the team can focus on the bigger picture, knowing the details are handled. Get it wrong, and it can cause delays, budget overruns, or a less-than-stellar attendee experience, which ultimately reflects on our brand. You're building the foundation for successful engagements.

Inside the business
  • Senior Brand Experience Specialist (your direct manager)
  • Brand Experience Specialists (your immediate team peers)
  • Marketing Operations (for lead flow and data)
  • Sales Teams (for understanding event goals and lead needs)
Outside the business
  • Event Vendors (e.g., catering, AV, venues – for basic coordination)
  • Merchandise Suppliers
  • Print Agencies

7What you need before you start

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

  • A genuine interest in events and creating memorable brand experiences.
  • Strong organisational skills – you're good at keeping track of details and managing your own workload.
  • Proficiency with standard office software (e.g., Microsoft Office Suite or Google Workspace).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
  • A 'can-do' attitude and willingness to learn and adapt in a fast-paced environment.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Event Platform Features (e.g., Cvent, Splash)

You'll move beyond basic registration pages to understand more complex features like customisation, reporting dashboards, and basic integrations. This makes you more valuable in building sophisticated event experiences.

Customisation Options · Reporting & Analytics · Basic Integrations

  • This month: Explore the 'help' sections and tutorials within our event management platforms.
  • Next month: Ask your Senior Specialist to show you how they build more complex registration paths or reports.
  • Month 3: Take ownership of a small, customisable element of an event, like a specific landing page.
  • Month 4: Document a new process you've learned for using an advanced feature.

Quick win: Volunteer to build a slightly more complex registration form for an internal workshop, pushing your skills a bit further than usual.

CRM Data Optimisation for Events (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot)

It's not enough to just put leads into the CRM; you'll need to understand how to ensure that data is clean, correctly categorised, and useful for sales and marketing follow-up. This directly impacts our event ROI.

Data Hygiene Best Practices · Lead Scoring & Routing Basics · Campaign Attribution

  • This month: Spend time understanding our current lead flow process from event to CRM.
  • Next month: Ask Marketing Ops to explain how they use event data for reporting.
  • Month 3: Take responsibility for auditing a small batch of event leads for accuracy before they go to sales.
  • Month 4: Suggest an improvement to our lead capture form based on CRM data needs.

Quick win: Double-check every lead you enter or upload into the CRM for accuracy, ensuring all mandatory fields are complete.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry webinars and online courses on event planning or experiential marketing.
  • Joining relevant professional networks or LinkedIn groups to stay updated on trends.
  • Seeking out mentorship from more senior members of the team.
  • Taking initiative to learn new features within our event management and CRM software.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Basic Data Visualisation & Reporting

Events are becoming more data-driven. While you'll start by pulling raw data, the ability to turn that into simple, understandable charts and graphs will be crucial for showing event impact.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Brand Experience Coordinator is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Where it leads

Roles this leads to

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Imagine getting through your administrative tasks faster, freeing you up to learn more about the exciting world of events. AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to be your super-efficient assistant, helping you tick off those repetitive jobs in a fraction of the time.

In Events_Experiential_Marketing, there's a lot of detail-oriented work that, frankly, can eat up your day. From drafting emails to sifting through feedback, these tasks are essential but often time-consuming. We're embracing AI to make these parts of your job quicker and easier, so you can focus on learning and growing.

First-Draft Content Creation

Use AI tools to generate initial drafts of event-related copy like promotional emails, social media posts, or speaker bios. You'll provide a few key points, and the AI will give you a starting point, saving you from staring at a blank page. You'll then refine it to make it sound just right.

Instant Feedback Analysis

After an event, you'll often have loads of open-ended survey responses. Instead of reading every single one, feed them into an AI tool. It'll quickly summarise key themes, identify sentiment, and highlight common suggestions, giving you a head start on understanding attendee feedback.

Smart Venue & Vendor Scouting

Got a brief for a small team offsite? Use an AI assistant to quickly generate a long-list of potential venues or local suppliers based on your specific criteria (e.g., 'venues in Manchester for 50 people, with natural light and catering options under £50 per head'). It's a massive time-saver for initial research.

Post-Event Comms Support

Help draft personalised follow-up emails for attendees based on their engagement at an event (e.g., 'Thanks for attending the session on X'). AI can help you create variations quickly, ensuring everyone gets a relevant message without you having to write each one from scratch.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Brand Experience Coordinator, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 13 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Brand Experience Coordinator: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 2

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Events Experiential Marketing

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll pick up here are highly transferable. You could move into broader marketing roles, project management, or even specialise in a particular area like virtual events or event technology. The events industry itself is vast, so opportunities exist in agencies, corporate settings, or even non-profit organisations.
