Additional Information

Required Previous Experiences: 10+ years in experiential marketing, with a meaningful portion of that time in a senior client-facing or business development role at an agency.
Preferred Qualifications: A genuine hunter with a specific track record: you have built client relationships from scratch, converted them into real engagements, and grown them over time. That history is concrete, not general.
Deep enough fluency in how experiential programs are made to speak credibly at every stage of the process, from concept through production, and to represent the work confidently to senior clients.
A strong network of brand-side marketing decision makers in New York and the broader market, relationships that are current and real.
The ability to see Known's full capability set across data, creative, media, and strategy, and connect it to client needs in ways that go beyond the immediate experiential ask.
A strategic advisor's instinct: you bring things clients didn't know to ask for, and you do it in a way that feels like partnership, not upselling.
A clear-eyed understanding of what experiential work demands: the pace, the travel, and the moments when the work requires you to be physically present and fully available. You've done this before and it's not a deterrent.
