The Digital Marketing Specialist plays a key role in promoting The Western Fair District’s events, experiences, and venues—from year-round programming to iconic moments like the annual Western Fair. You’ll plan, launch, optimize, and report on digital campaigns that drive awareness, engagement, and ticket sales, while collaborating with a passionate, creative team.

  • Dig into data by conducting audience research, competitive analysis, and keyword research to uncover new opportunities
  • Collaborate creatively with our graphic designer to bring campaigns to life through compelling copy, visuals, and video
  • Track performance and spot trends, using insights to recommend fresh ideas and improvements
  • Define and report on KPIs, translating data into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders
  • Help improve how we work, contributing to internal processes and standardized marketing procedures
  • Measure ROI and performance across all digital platforms, delivering regular reports and recommendations
  • Support integrated campaigns, ensuring consistent messaging across digital and traditional channels
  • Contribute to team communications, including status updates and stakeholder meetings
  • Pitch in when needed with social media posts and email campaigns, but you won’t be directly responsible for these channels
  • Stay ahead of the curve by maintaining certifications and keeping up with the latest digital marketing trends and tools
  • Be part of the action, providing on-site marketing support during events and special projects

You’re a curious, organized, and creative marketer who loves learning and improving.  

Ideally, you have:

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in digital marketing, including paid ads (Google & Meta), CMS platforms (WordPress, Drupal, Squarespace), and design tools like Canva
  • A post-secondary diploma or degree in marketing, advertising, web development, computer science—or equivalent experience
  • Working knowledge of digital marketing tools and tactics, with experience in at least two areas such as analytics, SEO, SEM, and website CMS tools.
  • Google Analytics and Adwords certification a bonus
  • Strong communication, organization, and time-management skills
  • A data-driven mindset with the ability to turn insights into smart recommendations
  • The ability to work independently while thriving in a collaborative team environment

 

What You’ll Get:

  • Competitive Salary: $58,000 – $72,000, based on experience  
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Coverage for dental, vision, and life insurance, plus allowances for branded clothing and wellness initiatives, starting after 3 months of service  
  • Pension Plan: Become eligible after 1 year of service  
  • Time Off: Vacation accrual starts at two weeks, in addition to sick and personal days

  • Professional Growth: Opportunities for training, certifications, and career development to help you grow and advance within the organization.  
  • Team Culture: Collaborate with a fun, passionate team dedicated to making a positive impact in our community and region
