Director of Marketing (Brand, Reach & Events)

Let's get down to business

Hypeman Ventures helps agency founders break through the seven-figure ARR ceiling and build a company that runs without them. We work with owners who've outgrown the playbook that got them here — where every deal, deliverable, and decision still runs through them — and help them productize, systematize, and rebuild their role from operator to owner. The outcome: a business that compounds whether you're in the room or not.

Role Description

The content machine is running. Short-form video is gaining traction. A few podcasts have been booked. What is missing is someone whose full-time job is getting Hypeman Ken in front of the right rooms — and sometimes building those rooms themselves.

That is this role. You are not a scheduler. You are not a junior PR coordinator. You are the person who understands the marketing agency owner world, has relationships in it, and knows exactly which podcasts, stages, publications, and rooms our clients actually pay attention to.

What You'll Own

Podcast & Earned Media

• Podcast placement targeting marketing agency owner audiences — Smart Agency Masterclass, Agency Unfiltered, Build a Better Agency, The Agency Blueprint, and shows at that tier
• Trade and business press — Marketing Brew, Inc., Entrepreneur, Adweek, agency-specific verticals
• Pitching, writing, and placing — press releases, speaker bios, contributed articles

Speaking & Stages

• Speaking submissions — Agency Summit, Traffic & Conversion, Inbound, regional marketing conferences
• Awards strategy — agency rankings, Inc. 5000, Entrepreneur of the Year submissions

Program Marketing

• Owning how Freelance to Founder shows up in the market — messaging consistency across placements, pitches, and press
• Ensuring every podcast appearance, press feature, and stage slot drives awareness with marketing agency owners specifically
• Coordinating with the Director of Growth & Enrollment so PR placements and paid campaigns hit the same audience at the same time

Quarterly Founder Events

• Curating and filling intimate founder dinners and roundtables in the Scottsdale/Phoenix market
• Guest list development — who should be in the room and why
• Pre- and post-event outreach — invitations, follow-up, and converting attendees into warm program prospects
• Logistics sit with ops. Your job is the people and the story around the room.

What You Bring

• Working with entrepreneurs gets you so hyped
• 3–5 years in PR, communications, or earned media — agency-side or in-house
• Existing relationships in the marketing and agency space. Non-negotiable. No time for a cold outreach learning curve.
• A track record of placements you personally landed — not assisted, not team efforts, yours
• Strong writing. You will craft pitches, bios, press releases, and speaker submissions. They need to be excellent.
• Great attention to detail, DM me on IG now with the word REACH
• Connector personality. You work the phone. You follow up. You build relationships before you need them.

What This is Not

This is not a social media management role. It is not a content creation role. It is not a blast-500-podcasts-and-see-what-sticks role. It is a targeted, relationship-driven role for someone who knows this space and is ready to own results.

• Be part of a high performing team and up-and-coming personal brand

• Flexible/remote days within the hybrid model

• Team culture / size (startup energy, small team, fast decisions)
