  • Photography & Visual Storytelling: Plan and supervise architectural, lifestyle, and experiential photo/video shoots that meet Schulte guidelines and enhance merchandising and engagement.
  • PR, Social & Influencer Engagement: Collaborate with PR and social teams to generate earned media, drive awareness, and foster community and guest engagement through compelling content.
  • Promotions & On-Property Activations: Develop and execute seasonal packages, events, and locally resonant activations that generate buzz and support revenue objectives.
  • Multi-Revenue Center Marketing: Develop and implement strategic and tactical marketing plans for all key revenue centers at each property—including dining and F&B outlets, spa, golf, weddings, and group meetings—to drive incremental revenue, elevate brand experience, and support overall commercial goals.
  • Community Partnerships: Develop relationships with local organizations, cultural partners, and CVBs to enhance community engagement and drive destination demand.
  • Reputation & Crisis Management: Oversee online reputation and provide communication guidance during issues or crises to protect brand equity.
  • Ownership Reporting: Prepare monthly updates and quarterly marketing performance reviews with ROI analyses for ownership and corporate leadership.
  • Trendspotting: Continuously evaluate hospitality, travel, and digital marketing trends to identify innovative opportunities for the portfolio.
  • Signature Experiences: Concept and execute marquee and on-brand events or partnerships that position the hotels as cultural anchors in the community.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with property GMs, sales and revenue leaders, and operations teams to ensure marketing initiatives support broader commercial strategies.
  • Vendor & Agency Oversight: Manage external agency partners and vendors to ensure creativity, accountability, and ROI across marketing programs.
  • Performance Measurement: Monitor marketing KPIs and analytics dashboards to evaluate impact, optimize spend, and inform continuous improvement.
  • Marketing Resource Management: Oversee budget allocations and cost-sharing across properties using a blended model based on both fixed and variable room count considerations.

Qualifications & Competencies

  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Hospitality, or a related field; MBA or advanced degree preferred.
  • 8–10 years of progressive marketing experience in hospitality, with at least 3–5 years in a regional or multi-property leadership role.
  • Experience working with independent hotel marketing and technology platforms, tools, and systems (e.g., PMS, CRM, etc.).
  • Proven ability to develop and execute marketing strategies that drive measurable business outcomes.
  • Strong knowledge of digital marketing, CRM, content development, social media, and public relations.
  • Exceptional collaboration and communication skills; able to influence across a matrixed organization and partner with both corporate and property-level stakeholders.
