Assistant Banquet Manager

Shape the annual PR, media, and communications plan with the Director of Marketing & Communications - then own the execution. Build and maintain relationships with local, regional, and international media, and keep the media and key partner contact database current. Draft and distribute press releases, press kits, and media materials in English and Thai; arrange hosted stays, media visits, and everything in between. Track coverage, competitor activity, and industry news - flag what matters in real time and report results. Own the awards calendar and submissions. Write bilingual copy for campaigns, promotions and owned channels. Translating tone, not just words. Identify, vet, and manage partnerships, KOL collaborations, and barters for brand fit, audience quality, and measurable return. Plan and deliver PR and social events, launches, and activations. Represent the hotel at industry, media, and cultural events across Bangkok. Ensure all communications stay aligned with Kimpton and IHG brand standards.
