Marketing Specialist

About Us

Gray Dawes Group is one of the fastest-growing and most ambitious travel management and events companies in the world. With over £500m in global sales and a team spanning Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, and the Philippines, we're proud to be recognised as industry leaders - with plenty of awards to prove it.

At Gray Dawes Travel, we deliver travel and events that are high touch, high tech, and high content. More than the best fares, slickest tools, or smartest itineraries, our goal is to be a seamless extension of our clients' own teams - their out-of-house travel department. We take the time to understand their culture, brand, and objectives… and then we deliver (and then some).

This is an exciting time to join us as we expand across APAC and globally

About the Role

As part of our continued growth, we are seeking a dynamic Marketing Specialist to support our marketing initiatives across Australia and New Zealand (growing into Asia) and collaborate with our global team.

Reporting initially to the Group Marketing Director (UK) and Senior Vice President (Australia), you will be responsible for assisting in the planning, execution, and evaluation of marketing strategies across the corporate, leisure and groups and incentives travel divisions.

• Collaborate with the UK marketing team to localise global campaigns for Australian audiences.
• Create, manage, and schedule social media posts across platforms for each Gray Dawes brand, ensuring content is engaging and aligned with brand guidelines.
• Manage website updates, including landing pages and SEO optimisation where appropriate.
• Track digital campaign performance and provide analytics reports with actionable insights.
• Support the planning and execution of marketing events such as expos, client workshops, webinars, and corporate roadshows.
• Coordinate promotional campaigns for seasonal offerings such as early bird airfares, holiday packages, and group tours.
• Maintain strong relationships with external suppliers, including support resources and media agencies.
• Prepare regular performance reports for campaigns, including ROI analysis and recommendations for improvement.
• Monitor competitor activities and industry trends, providing recommendations to enhance marketing strategies.
