• Collect and analyse product feedback (e.g., tyre performance, lube usage) and competition intelligence to support product development and sales strategy.

Vendor & Agency Management:

• Identify and manage vendors for POP production, merchandising, and field activations.
• Negotiate costs, monitor quality, and ensure timely delivery of promotional materials.
• Oversee ground promoters and activation teams, ensuring brand messaging consistency and efficient resource deployment.

Sales Team Enablement:

• Work closely with Regional Sales Managers and ASMs to integrate marketing campaigns with sales targets.
• Provide dashboards, LGA-wise activation calendars, and ROI tracking for each scheme.
• Facilitate training and motivation sessions for field sales teams on new campaigns, product USPs, and market insights.

Brand Building & Rural Reach:

• Strengthen DAG’s brand visibility in remote and semi-urban markets through innovative rural marketing such as community sponsorships, market-day programs, and rider-club engagement.
• Support government or institutional sales drives with field-based brand activations.

Reporting & Analytics:

• Prepare weekly/monthly performance reports on campaign impact, consumer participation, and competitor moves.
• Measure ROI on each scheme (sales uplift, customer acquisition, brand recall) and recommend improvements.

Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business Administration, or related field (MBA preferred).
• 5–10 years of experience in field / BTL marketing within automotive (2W/3W), tyres, FMCG rural marketing, or related industries.
• Proven ability to design and implement large-scale on-ground activations and trade marketing programs.
