This is a dynamic, multi-brand role that will sit at the heart of our growth strategy, responsible for delivering impactful trade shows, brand activations, pop-ups, collaborative events, and experiential marketing campaigns in the UK and Internationally that elevate brand presence, generate commercial opportunities, and create memorable customer experiences.

About our Brands

Curated Sourcing is a product development and sourcing partner for ambitious beauty, wellness, and lifestyle brands. We work closely with founders and businesses to bring innovative products to market - from concept creation and packaging development to manufacturing and final delivery.

Sips is a fast-growing wellness-led consumer brand focused on creating products and experiences that bring people together through health, lifestyle, and community. For Sips, events are about brand building, customer engagement, and creating memorable real-world touchpoints - from pop-ups and sampling activations to collaborations, experiential events, and community-led wellness experiences in high-footfall and culturally relevant locations.

GLOAT is a modern premium brand built around innovation, strong storytelling, and standout customer experience. Events for GLOAT will focus on premium activations, immersive brand experiences, strategic collaborations, and launches that generate excitement, social conversation, and strong brand affinity.
