Social Media Coordinator (94780)

About Us
For five decades, mdg has been a leader in the association and event marketing space. And while we’ve been leading, we’ve also been learning: learning what motivates audiences now, how to build loyalty, and which performance tools actually impact registration numbers. We specialize in audience development and attendee acquisition for associations and trade shows, working across strategy, creative, digital, and communications to make that happen. We don’t copy and paste strategies or use technology for show. We dig deep into unique situations and apply what makes sense, instead of what’s expected.
