Marketing Manager – Imrg

At Closer Still, we strive to deliver the best. We’re on a mission to be the most dynamic B2B events and communities business in every market we serve, bringing people together to learn, connect and grow.
Operating across five regions, we power over 200 market-leading events, publications and brands across Business Technologies, Healthcare, Learning, HR & Education, and Future Transport & Infrastructure.
But what truly sets us apart is our people.

Our teams are diverse, driven, and united by a shared commitment to excellence. Rooted in our core values of ownership, empathy, teamwork, integrity, and determination, we empower every employee to grow, shape their own path and make a meaningful impact.
Joining Closer Still means being part of something bigger - not just building events, but creating opportunities, connections, and lasting value for the communities we serve.

IMRG is one of our brands, a leading eCommerce association helping retailers, brands, and technology providers navigate the industry. You'll be joining a team that runs market-leading data, events, insights, and an established community platform.

We're after someone who can do two things at once: think creatively about marketing and obsess over the numbers.

You’ll drive lead generation and membership growth for IMRG, but you’ll also own the marketing strategy, identifying new opportunities, testing what works, and shaping how the brand evolves as eCommerce changes.

You’re not here to execute campaigns from a brief. You're here to build them.

Create integrated campaigns (email, content, social, webinars) that move prospects from awareness to conversion

Work closely with the commercial team to understand what "qualified" looks like, then deliver it

Test messaging, audiences, channels continuously — keep what works, ditch what doesn't

Build nurture sequences that move prospects through the funnel

Build an annual marketing plan that actually moves the dial on membership and revenue

Identify new audience segments and map out acquisition journeys

Find cross-sell opportunities across IMRG's product suite

Think long-term sustainability, not one-off wins

Work with analysts and content experts to turn their insights into lead-gen campaigns

Create thought leadership, reports, webinar content, and sales materials from IMRG's data

Build data-led social content that drives engagement

Make IMRG's expertise impossible to ignore

Build year-round strategies that keep people connected through events, webinars, reports, and community initiatives

Understand who's engaging, what matters to them, and what should happen next

Develop campaigns around membership benefits and networking opportunities

Track marketing-influenced pipeline and revenue

Use insights to constantly optimise where you invest time and money

Report performance against clear KPIs

Background in demand generation, growth marketing, or B2B lead generation (Marketing Manager level or equivalent)

Proven track record running integrated digital campaigns

Strong understanding of customer journeys and conversion funnels

Comfortable with CRM platforms (Hub Spot experience essential) and marketing automation

Event experience is a bonus, not a requirement

Data-comfortable — you use numbers to make decisions, not gut feel

Strong copywriting and messaging skills

Can juggle multiple campaigns and priorities without dropping anything

Balance creative thinking with commercial focus

Curious about what's changing in eCommerce and how to stay ahead
