Job Description: Senior Experiential Events Specialist

About Komodo

At Komodo, we never do normal. Why? Easy. Because normal has been done, and we aren't in the business to simply recreate. Instead, we innovate. By definition, we’re a global creative agency, specializing in influencer and social media marketing; but that sounds a little... corporate, doesn’t it? What that actually means is that we understand how to connect brands and customers through world-class content, award-winning campaigns, and the biggest creators around. Our team of expert marketers boasts years of industry experience, so combine that with a global network of talent and offices across three continents, and you’ve got the makings of a recipe for success. There’s plenty more where that came from, too...
