Do you have strong opinions about walk-up songs? Have you ever watched a timeout promotion and thought, βI could make that better!β Do you believe a student section should be loud, a theme night should actually feel like a theme night, and a college athletics event should be an experience β not just a game?
Wellβ¦keep reading. π
Kennesaw State Athletics is hiring for our Director of Marketing & Fan Experience. And we're looking for someone who wants to CREATE.
ποΈ Create game-day environments people want to experience.
π§ Help determine what our fans hear, see, and feel inside our venues.
π£ Build promotions, theme nights and traditions that get people talking.
π± Develop marketing campaigns that turn impressions into attendance.
ποΈ Help grow crowds, student engagement, ticket sales and revenue.
π€ Work with campus organizations, community partners, sponsors, spirit teams, bands, DJs, emcees and a whole lot of people who help bring game day to life.
And yes, occasionally you'll probably find yourself debating whether a song hits hard enough for a third-down situation. That's college athletics.
π¦ Why Kennesaw State?
Because there is a LOT happening here. KSU serves more than 50,000 students, competes at the NCAA Division I level in Conference USA, and continues to grow its reach throughout metro Atlanta and beyond. That means opportunity. Opportunity to build traditions. Opportunity to experiment with new ideas. Opportunity to create memorable moments for students and fans. Opportunity to help shape what the Kennesaw State game-day experience looks and feels like as the university continues to grow. We're not looking for someone who simply wants to execute the same promotion we've done for the last five years.
We're looking for someone who asks:
π What if we tried this?
π How do we get more students here?
π How do we make this moment bigger?
π What would make someone want to come back?
π How can we make KSU Athletics feel unmistakably KSU?
π€ Soβ¦who are we looking for?
Someone creative. Someone organized. Someone who understands that live events rarely go exactly according to plan. Someone who can build a marketing plan at 10 a.m., meet with a campus partner at noon, review a game script at 2 p.m., brainstorm a promotion at 3 p.m., and be courtside helping execute an event that evening. Someone who understands that fan experience is marketing. And someone who genuinely enjoys the controlled chaos that makes working in sports so much fun.
Experience in college athletics, professional sports, minor league sports, marketing, promotions, ticket sales, fan engagement or event production? We definitely want to hear from you.
