From Loon OutdoorsAt Loon, we believe the small, steady steps we take as a company will add up. We believe that making great products, helping the people around us, and minimizing our environmental impact all come down to consistently showing up and doing the little stuff well and with intention.
Loon Outdoors is looking to expand our team and hire a Director of Marketing. Good stories are told one step at a time, and we have worked hard to strengthen Loon as a brand with a recognizable product and identity. The Director of Marketing would be someone who believes in our values and guides a clear and consistent story while making sure that story is heard by as many people as possible.
What you’ll do:
• Create and implement an annual marketing strategy that is consistent with the Loon brand and values and is relevant to the fly fishing industry.

• Identify and work with media partners to execute marketing strategy.
• Create and execute digital strategy including but not limited to media partner ads and digital ads.
• Work with our creative and content team to drive marketing/brand objectives like website content, journal content, fly tying videos, tailgate talks, etc.
• Work with and manage our ambassador program for brand awareness, community engagement and to meet marketing and brand strategies.
