Marketing Assistant

Gerben IP is looking for a creative and resourceful Marketing Assistant to join our growing team.

This is not a “just follow instructions” marketing role. We are looking for a self-starter to help us build a new marketing initiative from the ground up. You will be asked to contribute ideas, solve problems, and work independently.

Our firm has built a national reputation as the go-to trademark law firm through extension digitial and social marketing over the past 18 years. Our attorneys are regularly featured in national media, and we represent clients ranging from entrepreneurs and startups to private equity-backed businesses and public companies. We’ve consistently proven that a boutique law firm can compete at the highest level through creative strategy and execution.

Your initial focus will be on helping us execute and expand a new outreach and market research initiative that targets in-house counsel seeking trademark assistance. The role includes:

• Conducting deep internet and market research to identify potential clients and opportunities
• Building and organizing targeted prospect databases
• Assisting with outreach strategy and campaign development
• Researching industries, companies, founders, and events that they frequent
• Identifying creative opportunities for engagement and visibility
• Assisting with content ideas and messaging for digital outreach and social media

Over time, there is a significant opportunity to grow this role into a broader marketing position that includes:

• Social media strategy
• Content development
• LinkedIn and Instagram marketing

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Is naturally curious and loves research
• Knows how to dig into details and uncover useful insights online
• Is a strong problem solver who can figure things out independently
• Wants ownership and responsibility instead of micromanagement
• Understands how modern digital marketing works
• Is organized, reliable, and results-oriented
• Enjoys creative thinking and strategic outreach

You’ll work directly with the firm's founder, so self-starter energy is essential (he doesn't have much time to micromanage).

We’d especially love to hear from candidates who:

• Have experience creating content for LinkedIn or Instagram
• Understand social media engagement and audience growth
• Have experience with marketing research tools or CRM systems
• Have strong writing and communication skills

We offer competitive salaries and benefits depending on experience. Many of our team members come to work here and stay for a while :). Our goal is to always identify and retain talent, and we do that through competitive compensation structures and a mostly remote working environment.
