Marketing Consultant Position |
"We are looking for a passionate Marketing Consultant that will provide strategic and practical advice regarding our clients’ marketing efforts."
Eric Dahl
From The Desk Of Eric Dahl
-Eugene, Oregon
Here's What I'm Looking For and Not...
You will implement marketing strategy for our clients’ that will fit their business objectives and organize our activities to gain maximum value.
You’re a strategic thinker as well as knowledgeable in everyday direct response marketing. You will be an excellent communicator and enthusiastic about making a difference to our client’s.
Solid knowledge of the industry is also important.
The goal is to ensure that our marketing operations will engage our clients and outperform our competition.
You’ll be responsible for influencing existing or potential customers to buy products or services with the assistance of our telemarketing department.
Personally, I’m under a lot of pressure to make the cash register ring for our clients and I need someone that can rise to the occasion and constantly push the envelope of their abilities.
Speed is very important to me. If you’re a slow worker or a slow implementer or a slow learner – we simply won’t be a good fit.
Lastly, I expect you to have a can do attitude. I can’t stand complainers or those that talk a good game but nothing ever gets done. What I really want is someone who lets their work do the talking for them.
Some typical tasks you might do in a day (note: you don’t need to know how to do all of these just yet, but must be willing to learn)...
...What You'll Be Doing:
- Study the company’s profile and operations to understand its marketing needs
- Conduct marketing research to identify industry trends and commercial opportunities
- Develop and implement a marketing strategy aligned with the company’s objectives and budget
- Prepare and present detailed proposals and marketing plans
- Advise on branding, positioning, communications and other marketing issues
- Give direction to marketing efforts with the most effective methods and tools
- Monitor marketing projects and analyze the results
- Write reports with suggestions for improvements or new ideas
- … and much, much more. No two days will ever be the same.
There could also be tasks completely unrelated to marketing such as picking up the phone and calling a customer and to collect an order.
For this role, you need to be wide open to what kind of tasks I throw your way. You need to embrace them with a sense of enthusiasm and excitement.
Required Skills:
- Proven experience as a marketing consultant or similar role
- Exquisite knowledge of data analysis and market research
- In-depth knowledge of marketing principles and best practices

- Apt in writing useful proposals and reports
- Excellent communication (oral and written), interpersonal and presentation skills
- Outstanding organizational abilities
- Aptitude in problem-solving
- BS/BA in marketing, communications, business or relevant field; MS/MA will be a plus
You need to be a hardworking, self-starter, who is coachable, dependable, determined, driven, accountable, tech savvy, and naturally obsessed with details.
