Sharon Boland, Media Operations, Mobile World Live
About the team
The media team is responsible for the delivery of news and insights on the global mobile technology industry to its subscriber base of 180k readers. Through the Mobile World Live brand, the team provides products and services to allow technology companies reach our audience through advertising or co-branded content. The team is responsible for generating revenue and is made up of three groups: editorial (content creation), operations (advertising and content project delivery) and sales (revenue generation through new and existing clients).
About the role
The Media Project Coordinator works alongside all team members – operations, editorial and sales – making sure we deliver client projects to the highest quality and efficiency. Most client projects involve working with a partner supplier or freelance writers and agencies.
The position involves providing support for several projects at the same time, reporting on their progress and managing both internal and external resources to maintain delivery schedules. The role demands frequent communications with clients and suppliers and the escalation of issues that may impact service delivery or have a commercial impact.
Mobile World Live is the official broadcaster of MWC events, the biggest being MWC Barcelona in March each year. The role will require attendance of this event and potentially others throughout the year. During events, the Media Project Coordinator will be supporting the delivery of commercial and editorial video projects including scheduling of these interviews.
Outside of events, you will be working on digital media delivered through the Mobile World Live website including webinars, online interviews, features and reports. There are two virtual events that Mobile World Live delivers each year that take place over two to four days and are made up of a series of webinars covering technology industry topics.
You will provide support and guidance to attendees by ensuring smooth execution of the webinars and video interviews to maximize the overall success of Mobile World Live’s virtual event offerings.
This involves coordinating schedules for content planning, rehearsals, and recordings across multiple clients and management of deadlines.
