Marketing Director | Brand & Growth Strategy

Akers Media | Style Magazine | Lake & Sumter County

We are not looking for someone to “post on social media.”

We are looking for a strategic marketing leader who understands how to build a brand, grow an audience, and support revenue.

Akers Media—publisher of Style Magazine and multiple lifestyle publications—is seeking a Marketing Director to lead the strategy behind our print, digital, and event platforms.

This role is ideal for someone who can think at a high level, execute with precision, and understands that marketing exists to drive measurable growth.

What You’ll Do

• Lead overall marketing strategy and brand positioning across all platforms
• Develop and execute campaigns that grow audience, engagement, and advertiser value
• Collaborate with sales to create high-impact advertising packages and client campaigns
• Oversee social media, email marketing, website content, and promotional initiatives
• Analyze performance metrics and continuously optimize campaigns
• Elevate the visual and editorial presentation of the brand to a premium level
• Support major initiatives including special editions, events, and sponsored features

Who You Are

• A strategic thinker who understands both branding and business growth
• Experienced in multi-channel marketing (print, digital, social, email, events)
• Able to translate ideas into polished, high-end campaigns
• Data-driven, with the ability to track performance and adjust accordingly
• Highly organized and capable of managing multiple projects and deadlines
• Collaborative and comfortable working alongside sales and leadership

You are not just creative—you understand how marketing supports revenue.

Compensation

• Base Salary: $50,000 – $75,000 (depending on experience)
• Performance Bonus: 5-10%

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Established, respected media brand with strong community presence
• Opportunity to shape and elevate a premium lifestyle publication
• Creative freedom within a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment
• Direct collaboration with leadership and visibility on major initiatives
• Ability to make a measurable impact on both brand and business growth

The Bottom Line

This is not an entry-level marketing role.

This is an opportunity for a true marketing leader to take an established brand and help drive its next phase of growth.

Pay: $50,000.00 - $75,000.00 per year

Benefits

• Paid time off

Work Location: In person
