01 / The goals
Progress you can point to.

Connect the details
Coordinate with internal teams and outside partners so the next person knows what to do.
What it looks like: Documented handoffs, complete campaign information, and organized follow-up.

What it looks like: Useful reporting, thoughtful questions, and a documented improvement for next time.
02 / The work
A hands-on role.
A connected toolkit.
You’ll work across several channels, not in a silo. The Marketing Director sets direction and priorities; you help turn approved plans into well-executed work.
Projects & coordination
- Keep assigned tasks, deadlines, files, and project updates current in the Growth Portal.
- Clarify briefs, flag blockers early, and coordinate routine details with teammates and partners.
Social media & content
- Help prepare, schedule, and monitor social posts.
- Repurpose approved content into useful channel-specific messages, with a clear audience and next step.
AI-assisted writing & design
- Use approved AI tools for first drafts, basic research, and content repurposing.
- Create or update graphics in Canva or approved templates; verify facts, tone, spelling, and layout.
Events & follow-through
- Support promotion and coordination for webinars, conferences, and other marketing events.
- Keep materials, logistics, and follow-up tasks organized with the team.
Campaign production
- Assist with emails, landing pages, presentations, and print materials.
- Prepare relevant personalized content using approved context, and route work through review before release.
Reporting & improvement
- Help keep campaign information and results current so the team can review what happened.
- Summarize useful signals, distinguish activity from outcomes, and suggest questions to investigate.
A practical rhythm: Daily—priorities, production, and updates. Weekly—content, event readiness, and follow-up. At review time—results, lessons, and the next adjustment.
03 / How we work
Create. Connect.
Learn. Repeat.
Our presentations describe a connected marketing loop, not a pile of one-off tasks. The Growth Portal brings content, campaigns, approvals, customer context, and reporting into one working environment.
01
Express
Start with a clear story.
Understand the audience’s problem, the approved message, and the evidence behind it.
02
Tailor
Make the message relevant.
Adapt content to the audience’s real needs—not just a first-name field.
03
Amplify
Help useful content reach people.
Coordinate approved content across social, email, web, events, and other relevant channels.
04
Evolve
Bring the learning back.
Review results with the team, record what changed, and improve the next round.
AEO, without the jargon
Answer engine optimization means helping people find accurate, useful information about EpiOn in AI-generated answers. You’ll learn to support clear answers, reliable sources, consistent company information, and ongoing observation—not promise guaranteed rankings.
AI helps. People remain accountable.
AI can draft and suggest. People verify claims, protect customer information, apply brand standards, and approve what goes out. Knowing when to ask a question is part of doing the job well.
04 / Room to grow
A foundation, not a finished expert.
Coursework, internships, volunteer work, freelance projects, or early professional experience can all demonstrate your foundation. A related degree is helpful, but not required when you can show the skills and ability to learn.
- Clear writing and careful proofreading
- Basic Canva or similar design skills
- Generative AI familiarity and sound judgment
- Organization, dependability, and clear communication
- Curiosity, coachability, and willingness to ask questions

05 / The interview
Better questions.
A clearer picture.
Suggested interview questions grounded in the actual work—not trick questions or a test of how many tools someone can name.
For a fair, useful conversation
Ask candidates the same core questions. Welcome examples from study, work, volunteering, or personal projects. Evaluate job-related evidence and learning potential, not years of experience alone.

A campaign receives plenty of clicks but very few inquiries. What would you look at next?
Follow up: What information would you need before recommending a change?
