The marketing department ensures that The Daily Californian serves the needs of its readers and advertisers by consulting senior management and executing solutions on matters from revenue generation to data analysis to brand management. Applicants should be motivated, open-minded, innovative, hard-working and intellectually curious. Strong candidates are able to work well in diverse, multidisciplinary teams, effectively communicate and present their findings and are eager to learn and engage.

The marketing department consists of three unique teams: Marketing intelligence and analytics, product marketing and experiential marketing.
MARKETING INTELLIGENCE AND ANALYTICS (MIA)
The MIA team provides critical insights using analytics and helps drive strategic initiatives forward. Past projects include piloting the organization’s first analytic reports highlighting user behavior, geographic/demographic analyses and section-by-section performance data.

PRODUCT MARKETING (PM)

From determining positioning and targeting metrics, conducting competitive analyses and launching go-to-market strategies, PM is in charge of shaping the product and helping grow its user base. This role is cross-functional, and the PM team will closely collaborate with sales, development, design and more to manage and implement the product marketing strategy from beginning to end. Past projects include managing our Corporate Sponsorships program, and PM plans on expanding toward alumni-rich marketing products and launching Ink Creative, the Daily Cal’s up-and-coming design agency.
Responsibilities:
EXPERIENTIAL MARKETING (EM)
