The Manager, Marketing Activation owns the execution of consumer marketing campaigns for one of MGA's Preschool brands, in the United States. This role turns brand strategy into live campaigns: the content, the social calendar, the creator roster, the retail activations, and the performance read that follows.

Preschool is a dual-audience business. The child is the fan; the parent or caregiver is the buyer. The ideal candidate knows how to build content that performs for one while converting the other — and understands the platform and compliance realities of marketing in the kids space.

This is a fast-paced, hands-on role. The Manager is expected to be in the work: building the campaign, reviewing the creative, and course-correcting in real time.

  • Build and steward the creator roster across top Mom and Toy creators; own briefing, negotiation support, and performance review
  • Direct the Creative team /external partners to produce on-brand assets tailored by platform; act as a standard-bearer for creative quality
  • Own the content and social calendar, ensuring continuous engagement between launch moments
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  • Lead bi-weekly calls with international sales teams, serving as the central point of contact for campaign plans, asset needs, and in-market activation support
