Own marketing for BrewDog venues at Bluewaters and City Walk and Swingers Dubai.

Drive profitable ticketed activations, protect and grow brands, and deliver measurable revenue against targets.

The role is commercial and evaluates campaigns using tracked bookings, reservations, ticket sales, and average spend.

Ticketed Activations and Events

  • Own annual and monthly calendars covering brunches, roasts, ladies’ nights, festivals, seasonal events, sports screenings, and venue concepts.
  • Build each activation with a revenue target, marketing plan, and cost budget agreed with the Commercial Manager.
  • Plan openings, relaunches, menu launches, limited-time offers, and the BrewDog City Walk launch programme.
  • Review activation performance weekly and stop, fix, or scale campaigns based on results.

Compliance and Brand Management

  • Produce and approve creative and media compliant with UAE licensed-venue regulations, including appropriate targeting, language, and imagery.
  • Manage Meta, Google, and TikTok advertising policies and remediation of platform restrictions.
  • Coordinate event permits and promotional requirements with Operations and relevant authorities.
  • Secure franchisor approvals, follow brand guidelines, manage the 2% net-revenue brand marketing budget, and maintain compliant venue branding.

Performance and CRM

  • Ensure campaigns use tracked booking links or codes and reconcile platform results with unique SevenRooms reservations.
  • Report tracked ROAS, paid versus organic bookings, new versus repeat guests, and cost per acquired booking.
  • Manage email, CRM, loyalty, content calendars, organic social, influencer, KOL, and community programmes.

Partnerships and Reporting

  • Build partnerships with hotels, ticketing and experience platforms, corporates, communities, and complementary brands.
  • Negotiate barter and cross-promotion deals that reduce paid acquisition cost.
  • Produce weekly trading-linked reports and manage the Marketing Coordinator, agencies, photographers, and suppliers.
  • Work with venue General Managers and the Commercial Manager to address weak days, dayparts, and venues.

Qualifications and Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field.
  • Minimum 5 to 7 years of marketing experience, including at least 3 years in UAE licensed F&B, bar, or entertainment venues.
  • Proven success filling ticketed events, brunches, or activations with measurable revenue results.
  • Experience with compliant paid campaigns for alcohol-licensed venues and platform policy restrictions.
  • Working knowledge of SevenRooms or equivalent reservation platforms, booking attribution, and tracked-purchase ROAS.
  • Experience with franchised or licensed brand guidelines, approval processes, and budget management.

Key Competencies

  • Commercially minded and comfortable being measured on revenue.
  • Strong project management across multiple venues and simultaneous activations.
  • Creative judgement suited to premium, irreverent brands.
  • Clear communication with Operations, Finance, franchisors, agencies, and suppliers.
