Responsibilities
Ensure that regional communication plans leverage the most effective and efficient media strategies to drive earned media coverage across both traditional platforms and social media, engaging new consumers daily across the portfolios under your leadership
The Communications department will, in most cases, serve as the media network lead for all marketing events and activations in the region—particularly those projects with a strong emphasis on earned media outcomes
As such, the department is responsible for assembling the Media Captains table and developing the overall media plan (PEMO PLAN) for each project where the communications team acts as the "Media Captain."
This plan will require approval from the communications and programming teams in Santa Monica
The Senior Manager of Communications will lead specific portfolios within the region and act as the primary point of contact for all media aspects related to their designated projects
Gain an in-depth understanding of local consumer media consumption habits and the related media market
Use this knowledge to create the most efficient and impactful comprehensive plans for the region's marketing activities
Cultivate a robust network of editors, journalists, freelance writers, social media producers, and photographers to effectively bring content to life
The Communication team collaborates closely with the field marketing and regional marketing teams to identify and uncover the most impactful ideas with media potential
Once these ideas are identified, the regional team works alongside experts in Santa Monica to transform them into fully developed projects or media products that can be incorporated into the BP (Business Plan), the Limitless Pitch, or the MNLT monthly rolling projects fund
Additionally, the Communication team manages ongoing initiatives such as athlete stories and year-long national campaigns
They work hand-in-hand with media relations to leverage relevant content from the regions for pitching to key national media outlets, including both traditional and social media platforms
For "always on" activities, such as FMEDL (earned content for athletes), FORBS, and collegiate outreach, the focus is on maintaining a consistent presence in front of consumers through earned social outreach
This effort is carried out in collaboration with other departments, including production, creator marketing, and sports marketing
Define objectives, goals, messages, and strategies for each project
Whether serving as the Media Captain or the communications lead, this will be an ongoing responsibility
Identify the appropriate media amplification channels for each project or campaign
Serve as the Red Bull Media Liaison for the region, identifying stories and media opportunities that resonate most with your target audience—whether these opportunities stem from your specific project or the global WORB initiatives
Evaluate media outcomes by conducting either a mini PIR or a full PIR in consultation with Santa Monica functional leads
Provide insights on what worked, what didn’t work, and lessons learned, sharing these insights across the Media Network and the marketing team
Keep SAMO informed about opportunities that could be elevated to the national or global level
The communications team serves as the central point of contact for any media inquiries from the field team in your region
You will support the field team by providing access to a list of agencies, videographers, photographers, and media production companies that can assist them in executing smaller media projects
Additionally, coaching and guiding the field team will be an essential part of your role
