1What this role really is

This role is all about owning a major chunk of our live marketing efforts, whether that's our annual user conference, a series of global trade shows, or our entire webinar programme. You're not just running events; you're shaping the strategy for how we show up live, making sure everything connects back to our bigger business goals. You'll be the one building out the team and making sure they've got what they need to deliver. It’s a proper hands-on leadership role, where you’re still in the thick of it, but also looking ahead.

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.

Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) Generated

The number of high-quality leads that come directly from your live marketing programmes, which sales has accepted as legitimate opportunities.

Target · > 500 MQLs per major event (e.g., user conference) or > 1,500 MQLs annually across all programmes.

After the Q2 'Future of X' webinar series, we saw 650 MQLs, beating our target of 500. This was tracked through Marketo and Salesforce.

Cost Per Lead (CPL) from Live Programmes

The total cost of a live marketing programme divided by the number of MQLs it generates. We want to see efficiency.

Target · < £150 per MQL.

Our Q3 trade show generated 200 MQLs at a total cost of £25,000, giving us a CPL of £125, which is well within target.

Budget Adherence

How closely you manage your programme budgets, ensuring you don't overspend (or underspend significantly, which can mean missed opportunities).

Target · Within 5% of the approved budget for each major programme.

The annual user conference came in at £485,000 against a £500,000 budget, which is a 3% underspend – spot on.

Event-Sourced Pipeline Value

The total value of sales opportunities (pipeline) that can be directly attributed to attendees or engagements from your live marketing programmes.

Target · > £5M annually from all live marketing activities.

In Q1, our regional roadshows contributed £1.8M to the sales pipeline, putting us on track for the annual target.

Team Performance & Development

How well your direct reports are performing, growing, and staying with us. It's about building a strong, capable team.

Target · Reduce team turnover by 10% year-on-year; ensure 2+ individuals are promoted or take on significantly expanded roles annually.

Last year, we saw a 15% reduction in team turnover and two specialists were promoted to Senior Live Marketing Specialist roles, showing strong team growth.

Strategic Alignment & Influence

Are you seen as the go-to person for live marketing strategy? Are you proactively shaping our approach, not just reacting?

You're regularly invited to strategic planning meetings with Sales and Product leadership. Your proposals for new event formats or programme changes are usually adopted. Peers from other departments seek your advice on their own event-related initiatives. You're not just executing
you're defining 'what' and 'why'.

Programme Quality & Innovation

Are your programmes consistently high-quality, engaging, and pushing the envelope a bit? Are we learning and improving each time?

Positive feedback from internal stakeholders and attendees about event content and experience. You're introducing new engagement formats (e.g., interactive workshops, AR/VR experiences) or event technologies. Post-mortems consistently identify actionable improvements that get implemented in subsequent programmes. We're not just doing the same old thing.

Vendor & Partner Management

How effectively do you manage external agencies, venues, and sponsors? Are you getting good value and building strong relationships?

Vendors consistently deliver on time and within budget, often going the extra mile. You're negotiating favourable terms and finding efficiencies. Sponsors are happy with their ROI and renew year after year. You're seen as a fair but firm partner, getting the best out of everyone.

Risk Mitigation & Crisis Management

How well do you anticipate problems and handle them when they inevitably pop up during a live event?

You've got robust contingency plans for common issues (tech failures, speaker no-shows). When a crisis hits (and it will), you handle it calmly and decisively, minimising disruption and maintaining a professional front. Post-event, you're leading the 'what went wrong and how do we stop it happening again' discussion, not just reacting.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy

Seeing Your Vision Come to Life

You get a real buzz from taking an abstract idea for an event and meticulously planning it, then watching it unfold beautifully on the day. The satisfaction of seeing a packed room, engaged attendees, and positive feedback is what drives you.

You spend months designing the agenda, speaker line-up, and experiential elements for our annual user conference, and on the day, you're buzzing seeing all the pieces come together perfectly, with attendees raving about the content.

Solving Complex, Real-Time Problems

You enjoy the challenge of a live environment where unexpected issues pop up constantly. You're energised by quickly diagnosing problems, coming up with solutions on the spot, and keeping everything on track.

When a key speaker's flight is cancelled an hour before their session, you're not panicking; you're already on the phone with a backup speaker, re-jigging the schedule, and briefing the production team on the fly.

Building and Mentoring a Team

You genuinely enjoy leading, coaching, and developing your direct reports. You get satisfaction from seeing them grow, take on more responsibility, and deliver great work under your guidance.

You regularly set aside time for 1-to-1s, give constructive feedback on event plans, and delegate challenging tasks to help your specialists develop their own leadership skills, celebrating their successes.

What frustrates people

The last-minute speaker: The CEO deciding they want to change their entire presentation the night before the event, rendering all rehearsals and prepared graphics obsolete.
The black hole of leads: Pouring heart and soul into generating thousands of high-quality leads, only to watch them languish in the CRM because the sales team is 'too busy' for follow-up.
The ROI inquisition: Constantly battling to prove the financial value of 'brand building' and 'engagement' to a CFO who only sees a massive line item for venue, catering, and A/V.
Technical gremlins: The soul-crushing moment when the flawless demo from the dry run fails spectacularly in front of 500 of your most important customers due to a random software update.
The physical grind: The sheer exhaustion after a multi-day conference—sore feet, lost voice, and a mountain of expense reports—is never shown in the glossy highlight video.

What this role does not give you

A predictable 9-to-5 schedule, especially during event weeks.
A role where you can avoid internal politics or challenging stakeholders.
A job where every single idea you have gets implemented without compromise.
A quiet, solitary working environment; you'll be constantly collaborating and troubleshooting.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts our ability to generate qualified sales pipeline, build brand awareness, and foster customer loyalty through live interactions. Your programmes are often the first physical touchpoint for many prospects and a critical retention tool for existing customers. Get it right, and you're directly contributing to revenue growth and market positioning. Get it wrong, and you're wasting significant budget and potentially damaging our reputation.

7What you need before you start

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

Proven track record of successfully managing multiple complex events or marketing programmes from concept to completion.
Demonstrable experience leading and developing a small team of marketing professionals.
Strong commercial acumen, with a history of managing significant budgets (e.g., £100K+ per programme) and proving ROI.
Experience presenting to and influencing senior leadership (Director level and above).
A deep understanding of the entire event lifecycle, including pre-event promotion, on-site/virtual delivery, and post-event follow-up.
Proficiency in at least one major event platform (e.g., Cvent, Bizzabo) and one marketing automation/CRM system (e.g., Marketo, HubSpot, Salesforce).

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

AI-Powered Personalisation & Recommendation Engines

Attendees are drowning in content. AI can help us cut through the noise by offering personalised agendas, recommending relevant sessions or exhibitors based on their profile and behaviour, and tailoring post-event content. This drives engagement and perceived value, making our events stand out.

Collaborative filtering and content-based recommen · AI-driven agenda builders and session matching alg · Dynamic content delivery based on real-time attend · Ethical considerations in AI personalisation (avoi · Integration of AI recommendation APIs into event p

Quick win: Start using AI tools (like those in our AI Productivity Hub) to draft personalised follow-up emails based on attendee behaviour. It's a simple way to get started with personalisation.

Advanced Event Analytics & Predictive Modelling

Moving beyond basic ROI, we need to predict event success, identify at-risk attendees, and optimise spend in real-time. This means deeper dives into data, connecting more dots, and building models that forecast outcomes before the event even happens. It's about proactive, data-driven decision-making.

Month 7-9: Develop a comprehensive dashboard that integrates event data with sales pipeline and customer lifecycle metrics, providing a holistic view of event impact.

Quick win: Start tracking the full journey of event-sourced leads through the sales pipeline in your CRM. Just seeing the data will spark new ideas for optimisation.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attend industry conferences and webinars (e.g., Event Tech Live, IMEX, Marketing Week Live) to stay current on trends and network with peers.
Subscribe to leading event marketing publications and blogs (e.g., Eventbrite Blog, Skift Meetings, The Drum) to keep your finger on the pulse.
Actively participate in professional communities and forums for event professionals, sharing insights and learning from others' experiences.
Seek out opportunities to mentor junior colleagues or take on stretch projects that push your strategic and leadership capabilities.
Take online courses or workshops on advanced analytics, AI in marketing, or specific event technologies to deepen your technical skills.

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: Advanced Hybrid Experience Design

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 Live Marketing Manager 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.

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:

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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Imagine having a personal assistant for every event, handling the tedious bits so you can focus on strategy and attendee experience. That's what AI can do for a Live Marketing Manager. It's not about replacing your expertise; it's about amplifying it, letting you do more, faster, and with greater impact.

In live marketing, time is always against you. From pre-event planning to post-event follow-up, there's a mountain of tasks. AI tools are quickly becoming indispensable, taking on the repetitive, data-heavy, or content-generation tasks. This means you can spend more time on creative strategy, stakeholder management, and those critical real-time decisions that only a human can make. We're building an AI Productivity Hub to help you get started.

Post-Event Summary Generator

Use AI to transcribe key sessions, identify major themes from Q&A and chat logs, and then automatically draft concise summary emails, social media posts, and even blog content for attendees and those who couldn't make it. No more sifting through hours of recordings; get a first draft in minutes.

Sentiment & Topic Analyzer

Feed live chat, Q&A logs, and social media mentions from your events into an AI model. Instantly gauge audience sentiment, identify the most resonant topics, and spot areas of confusion. This provides real-time feedback for your moderators and helps you refine content for future sessions, making your events more responsive and engaging.

Speaker & Sponsor Scout

Leverage AI tools to scan industry news, LinkedIn profiles, and conference databases to generate a qualified list of potential speakers or sponsors. Based on topic expertise, audience fit, past engagements, and even sentiment analysis of their public presence, you'll get a curated list, saving you hours of manual research.

Personalised Nurture Drafter

Use AI to create highly personalised follow-up email sequences for attendees. The AI can tailor content based on which sessions an individual attended, questions they asked, polls they answered, or even their engagement with virtual booths. This dramatically increases post-event conversion rates by making every follow-up feel bespoke.

Times vary with prior experience.

Where can a Live Marketing Manager progress to?

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 Live Marketing Manager, 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 10 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 Live Marketing Manager: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 5

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

Other roles in Marketing

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

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain in this role—strategic programme management, team leadership, budget ownership, and proving ROI for experiential activities—are highly transferable. You could easily move into similar leadership roles in other B2B or B2C organisations, or even transition into a Head of Marketing role in a smaller company, or a consulting role specialising in event strategy.

Not sure this is the right direction?

Work out what you actually want from work first, then come back and see which roles fit it. Takes about ten minutes.
