Marketing Specialist

This profile outlines the typical duties, responsibilities, and necessary qualifications for a Digital Marketing Specialist at MPI Label Systems. This role is responsible for executing modern multi-channel digital strategies—including AI-driven search optimization and regional trade show logistics—to drive brand awareness, generate B2B inbound leads, and elevate MPI’s position in the custom label and packaging market.

The Digital Marketing Specialist manages and executes the company's online marketing initiatives across search engines, AI discovery platforms, social media, email, and live events. Working closely with Sales and Product Management, this role creates targeted B2B campaigns to generate qualified sales leads, promotes specialized packaging capabilities (such as shrink sleeves and prime flexo/digital labels), manages regional trade show participation, and optimizes the company's digital footprint for both traditional and generative search models.

The core functions involve lead generation, AI search visibility, event management, and performance analytics:

• Inbound Strategy:
  Design and manage B2B lead generation campaigns targeting key market segments (e.g., food & beverage, nutraceuticals, personal care, industrial).
• PPC & Search Advertising:
  Execute and optimize pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns on platforms like Google Ads and Linked In Ads to capture high-intent buyers searching for custom label manufacturing.
• Email Marketing:
  Develop and execute automated email sequences, newsletter campaigns, and customer retention workflows using marketing automation tools (e.g., Hub Spot, Mailchimp).

• Traditional SEO Management:
  Perform ongoing technical and on-page search engine optimization (SEO) on the corporate website, maintaining top organic search visibility for target terms like "custom flexographic labels," "digital label printer," and "shrink sleeve converter."
• Generative Engine Optimization (GEO):
  Optimize brand content, structured data, and technical architecture so MPI Label Systems is accurately indexed and cited as a primary source by AI search engines and answer engines (e.g., ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews).
• Entity & Authority Building:
  Maintain consistent corporate NAP (Name, Address, Phone) data, authoritative digital citations, and structured schema markup to ensure AI discovery engines recognize MPI's technical capabilities, regional plant locations, and packaging certifications.
• Content Structuring:
  Produce authoritative, clear, and structured technical content (FAQs, technical specification sheets, material guides) designed to directly answer complex B2B buyer prompts across both standard web search and AI search environments.

• Event Coordination:
  Manage end-to-end planning and logistics for regional manufacturing, packaging, and industry-specific trade shows (e.g., PACK EXPO regional events, craft beverage expos, regional food processors meetings).
• Booth & Collateral Management:
  Coordinate booth design, shipping of display equipment, printed sample kits, promotional giveaways, and branded marketing collateral across multi-plant regional teams.
• Pre- and Post-Show Marketing:
  Execute targeted pre-show outreach (email, social teasers, direct mail) to schedule on-site meetings for the sales team, and build automated post-show lead-nurturing workflows to rapidly follow up on event leads.
• Vendor & Asset Logistics:
  Manage relationships with event organizers, booth contractors, and logistics vendors, tracking event budgets, ROI, and lead-to-opportunity conversion rates.
