• Own the European marketing strategy for STK — defining positioning, target audiences, seasonal priorities and the commercial opportunities for each venue, and gaining alignment from the Managing Director, Europe and the VP of Marketing.
• Build and run the annual and quarterly marketing calendar across all three venues, covering brand campaigns, seasonal and cultural moments, events programming, private dining and group bookings, and trading-driven activity to support softer day-parts.
• Set the plan by venue, not by average. Strand, Stratford and Milan draw different guests for different reasons; each needs its own audience mix, channel weighting and offer strategy within one coherent brand.
• Own the European marketing budget — allocation across markets, channels and agencies, in-period tracking, and clear reporting on return.
• Report performance monthly to European and Group leadership: covers, spend per head, revenue by day-part and channel-attributed bookings, alongside brand and PR measures.
• Agency and partner management
• Lead the European agency roster across SEO, paid media and PR — briefing, onboarding, day-to-day management, performance review and, where needed, re-pitching or replacing.
• Set the brief and the KPIs. Each agency should be working to a written scope, an agreed set of measures and a shared calendar rather than an open-ended retainer.
• SEO: own organic visibility for the European venues — site content and structure, local and map listings, review profiles, and increasingly AI and answer-engine visibility for high-intent searches such as steakhouse, private dining and party bookings.
• Paid media: set channel strategy, budget splits and audience approach across paid search, paid social and any programmatic or partnership spend; hold the agency to booking-led performance rather than impressions.
• PR and influencer: drive a consistent flow of earned coverage across UK and Italian consumer, lifestyle, food and trade media; own launch and event moments, spokesperson and chef profiling, influencer and talent strategy, and issues handling with the Group communications lead.
• Run one calendar across agencies so SEO, paid, PR, CRM and social reinforce a single message in-market rather than running three separate plans.
• Manage commercial terms — scopes, contracts, invoicing and value-for-money reviews — with Finance and the Group procurement process.
• Drive covers and revenue across lunch, pre-theatre, dinner, late night, weekend brunch and the bar, with specific plans for the periods that need volume.
• Grow private dining, events and group bookings in partnership with the sales and events team — corporate, agency, celebration and seasonal party business.
• Own the local marketing plan for each venue — neighbourhood partnerships, hotel and concierge relationships, theatre, sport and entertainment tie-ins, corporate outreach and footfall drivers relevant to each site.
• Work the floor. Be present in the venues regularly, know the general managers and their trading pressures, and make sure marketing promises match the guest experience delivered.
• Act as guardian of the STK brand in Europe — tone, look, photography, menus, signage, collateral and in-venue assets — within global brand standards.
• Own the European content engine through the Social Media Manager — channel strategy, content calendar, photo and video shoots, community management and creator collaborations — produced to a standard that matches the price point.
• Own European CRM and guest communications in partnership with the Group digital team — email and app messaging, segmentation, reservation platform data and loyalty activity, in line with UK and EU data protection requirements.
