--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Marketing manager
New Amsterdam is een merk ontstaan in de straten van Amsterdam met een passie voor surf. De dagelijkse commute van stad naar strand om daarna weer terug naar de stad te gaan is de leidraad van het merk. Euro, city, surf.
Als Marketing Manager van New Amsterdam Surf Association ben je de architect van ons merkverhaal. Je vertaalt brand identity en values naar strategische marketingplannen die zowel de following vergroten als de commerciële groei stimuleren. Je overziet het volledige marketing-ecosysteem: van high-end brand campaigns en gelimiteerde drops tot de groei van onze digital community.
Kernverantwoordelijkheden
• Merkstrategie & Positionering: Het bewaken en aanscherpen van de merkidentiteit in een competitieve markt. Je zorgt dat we niet alleen "on trend" zijn, maar de trend zelf zetten.
• Go-to-Market (GTM) Planning: Ontwikkelen van integrale strategieën voor nieuwe collecties, collabs en product-drops.
• Community & Influencer Management: Het bouwen van een authentiek netwerk van surfers, artiesten en creators die de geloofwaardigheid van het merk versterken.
• Digital Growth: Aansturen van de content- en performance-teams om de conversie op de webshop te maximaliseren zonder verwatering van de merk identiteit.
• Event & Experience Marketing: Organiseren van betekenisvolle activaties, van pop-up shops en launch parties tot aanwezigheid op internationale mode-events (bijv. Paris Fashion Week).
• Budgetbeheer & ROI: Strategische allocatie van budgetten en het rapporteren van resultaten aan de directie.
Wie wij zoeken (Profiel)
• De Cultuur-Kenner: Je leeft en ademt city culture. Je weet wat er speelt op trend gebied, je kent de laatste brand releases en je begrijpt de dynamiek van "scarcity" marketing.
• De Strategische Denker: Je kijkt 12 maanden vooruit en weet hoe je een merk schaalbaar maakt
• De Teamplayer: Je bent een inspirerende leider die creatieven, data-analisten en externe agencies op één lijn krijgt.
Functie-eisen
• Ervaring: Minimaal 5 jaar relevante marketingervaring, waarvan een aanzienlijk deel in de fashion, sneakers of lifestyle-industrie.
• Netwerk: Een bestaand netwerk van fotografen, stylisten, modellen en influencers is een grote pré.
• Kennis: Sterk inzicht in e-commerce (Shopify/Magento), social advertising, content-distributie.
• Taal: Uitstekende beheersing van de Nederlandse en Engelse taal (streetwear is een mondiale taal).
