Advertising Associate

About us:   How did Web Summit become, in the words of Forbes, “the best tech conference on the planet”? Meaningful connections. Our tech events are unmissable because we make it easier for the right people to meet and connect. Everyone at Web Summit works towards this goal.   And we’re just getting started.    We’re always looking to build on the impact we have already made at Web Summit. In the coming years we’ll take Web Summit to new markets, promoting global connectivity, highlighting important issues and connecting global leaders – all while making a positive impact on the environment and communities we encounter.   To build a better company, we have to better ourselves. We do that by finding the most ambitious people to work with us. 
About the team  

The Advertising team sits at the heart of growth for Web Summit events worldwide.

We run large-scale, performance-driven campaigns across Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok and emerging platforms, reaching millions of people globally and converting them into attendees, partners and media. 

The team works closely with Analytics, Growth, Web, Creative and Sales to build a best-in-class acquisition engine that has helped grow Web Summit from 400 attendees in 2010 to more than 100,000 today.

We're hiring an Advertising Associate who takes a brief and runs, but never alone. This team pitches ideas off each other, tests what excites us, and never stops trying to understand our audience better. You already know Meta, Google and LinkedIn inside out. You care more about the person behind the click than the click itself. And your best ideas come out in conversation, not in isolation.

What you'll achieve at Web Summit

• You'll run day-to-day campaign execution across Meta, LinkedIn and Google, using your own read of the data to influence direction as you go.

• You'll turn data into something worth pitching: producing reports is the baseline, sparking the team's next move is the job.

• You'll partner with Growth, Marketing Analytics, Creative, and our Startup and Partner teams to build integrated campaigns and consistent messaging across every attendee type.

• You'll bring a customer lens to every test and decision, using data to explain not just what happened, but why, and what it means for the person on the other end.

• You'll help build the testing agenda across creative, targeting and bidding, pitching ideas to the team and showcasing the results.

• You'll be listened to. Good ideas get airtime here regardless of who they come from.
