About the role

The primary duties of this position include leading focused marketing and advertising efforts to increase earned revenue, attendance, ticket sales, and program registrations for the department.

Responsibilities

• Lead focused marketing and advertising efforts designed to increase earned revenue, attendance, ticket sales, and program registrations for the department.
• Develop and execute targeted promotional campaigns for planetarium shows, summer and school-break camps, special events, facility rentals, premium experiences, memberships, and other revenue-generating programs.
• Manage the department’s paid advertising strategy across appropriate platforms, including Meta, Google, digital display, search, and other targeted media channels.
• Establish campaign objectives, audiences, budgets, timelines, creative needs, and performance measures for priority revenue-generating activities.
• Maintain a rolling marketing and advertising calendar aligned with show schedules, camp registration periods, seasonal programming, events, and other sales opportunities.
• Identify the audiences most likely to purchase or register for specific offerings and develop targeted messages and advertising strategies for each.

• Track marketing expenditures and evaluate the return on advertising investment for major campaigns.
• Identify underperforming programs or sales periods and recommend timely promotional interventions to increase participation and revenue.
• Develop strategies to increase repeat visitation, cross-promotion, and customer conversion between the department’s offerings—for example, moving camp families toward memberships, show attendees toward special events, or visitors toward additional paid experiences.
• Identify opportunities for bundling, seasonal promotion, special offers, audience retargeting, and cross-selling that can increase customer value without unnecessarily discounting the experience.
• Cook up strategies to coordinate with Programs, Guest Relations, Advancement, and other staff to ensure marketing priorities reflect available inventory, program capacity, organizational goals, and revenue opportunities.
• Provide concise, regular reporting on what is being promoted, what is working, what is not, and where additional marketing investment is warranted.
• Recommend changes to messaging, pricing promotion, advertising spend, audience targeting, or campaign timing based on performance data.
• Help the department develop a more disciplined revenue-marketing approach, connecting promotional activity directly to measurable business outcomes.
• Perform other marketing and promotional duties as assigned in support of the department’s earned-revenue and audience-development goals.
