About Make it Mariko

Make it Mariko (pronounced MAH-ree-ko) is a San Francisco experiential events agency led by women of color that creates magical, meaningful moments for the community. We are experience curators, community activators, corporate planners, nonprofit advocates, and event enthusiasts.

We are committed to curating creative, inclusive, and diverse spaces in the events industry to challenge the status quo and pave the way for a new generation of event experience curators. Our company was founded in 2015 by Gina Mariko Rosales and we have a wide network of creative partners, vendors, and clients that we work with throughout the Bay Area and beyond.

We do Experience Design, Planning & Production for:

Events & Curated Experiences
Brand Activations
Launch Campaigns
Corporate & Community Conferences
Corporate Leadership Summits
Community Festivals (like UNDISCOVERED SF, our flagship event)
Special Events (Holiday Parties, Milestone Birthdays, etc)
Social Impact Events

Through our sister company, POC Wedding Party (launching soon!), we also curate wedding experiences. Learn more about our company values and hear our origin store here: www.makeitmariko.com/about.

About the Role

The Marketing Coordinator will work closely with Founder & Chief Experience Officer (CEO) as well as our Marketing Events Manager (soon to be hired) to help amplify our message across multiple media platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Website). Someone with past strategy, sales, and marketing experience could grow into more opportunities, events, and hours.

We’re looking for someone with past experience doing Marketing ideation & execution, who has creative ideas to bring to the table, and who shares a similar conversational, approachable, Bay Area writing style that can represent Make it Mariko to our audiences.

This is a great opportunity for a budding Marketing professional who wants more hands-on experience creating large scale campaigns and working on strategic events and high impact projects in the Bay Area creative community.

This year we are working on BIG projects, like purchasing our first Event Space (aka The Ranch)! This role will be greatly involved with the The Ranch project possibly taking on more accounts to manage to help us build our project audiences. We’re looking for someone who is down for learning new things, isn’t afraid of the unknown, and is ready to flex their creative skills.

Women of Color are highly encouraged to apply.
