Samba TV tracks streaming and broadcast video across the world with our proprietary data and technology. We are on a mission to fundamentally transform the viewing experience for everyone. Our data enables media companies to connect with audiences for new shows and movies, and enables advertisers to engage viewers and measure reach across all their devices. We have an amazing story with a unique perspective on culture formed by a global footprint of data and AI-driven insights.
Samba is seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Event Marketing Manager to join our Marketing team.

  • Execute seamless experiences — oversee onsite and online delivery, manage guest lists, RSVPs, registration, customer/partner communications, and act as point-of-contact for vendors, speakers, sponsors, and attendees.
  • Manage audience engagement — build and maintain invitee lists, ensure accurate outreach and follow-up, and support executive participation in panels, speaking slots, and networking opportunities.
  • Event Communication and Promotion Strategy — support the creation of event communications and collaborate on promotional strategy for events (in partnership with demand generation and sales teams) to meet registration and attendance goals, and follow ups, leveraging tactics such as email marketing, social media, and paid advertising
  • Measure and optimize performance — track KPIs including attendance, engagement, meetings, MQLs, influenced and attributed revenue, budget spend, and ROI. Provide post-event reporting, insights, and lead capture to improve future investments.

About Samba TV

Television remains a vibrant cultural influence and an essential source of entertainment and information worldwide. Tremendous growth in content choices, and viewing platforms that allow us to watch anything, anytime, on any screen, has actually made it harder for viewers to discover and keep up with all the great programming available. It’s also more competitive for content providers to keep your attention, and for marketers to make strong, measurable connections with their target consumers.

Technology that improves the viewing experience, enables content discovery, and addresses audience fragmentation across screens will strengthen television’s business model and relevance to consumers. Data is at the center of any solution to make TV better.

Samba TV's technology is built into Smart TVs and easily maps to smart phones and tablets. By recognizing what's on screen, Samba TV learns what viewers like and using machine learning algorithms, enables discovery of shows and actors in a whole new way.

Likewise, our data and measurement products are transforming the way stakeholders across the media landscape are thinking about their business. Given the dramatic growth in streaming services, connected devices, time-shifting, and multi-screen viewership, our data products solve real problems and create a meaningful competitive advantage for our clients.
