I interviewed Tanya from Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort.
Q: What is the title of your job?
T: Marketing Manager for Sponsorships and Promotions.
Q: What are your job duties?
T: I oversee a Promotions team of 4 and we come up with all of our large monthly promotions, write them up and get them approved by our Gaming Commission. We then need to make sure that all of these write ups get sent to the entire property so they know what is happening on the floor and when. We purchase all of the cars, trucks, and big ticket items for each of our monthly promotions. We run reports to see how our monthly promotions are doing and what we can do to make them better. From a Sponsorship side of things I purchase sponsorships where Soaring Eagle goes into cities where there are other casinos and we sponsor very large events that see thousands of people over a certain time frame. We create offers to hand out at these events to bring people back to Soaring Eagle. I also sell sponsorships to businesses to sponsor our 10 outdoor concerts we have each Summer that run June thru September. We then make sure they have everything that we agreed upon in their contract. We also plan and put on VIP events during the year to bring in our VIP's to stay with us and enjoy a show as well as dine in any of our food outlets.
Q: Do you need any education for the job, and if so, what kind?
T: I have a high school diploma however I do not have a college degree. I have worked here at Soaring Eagle for almost 21 years and have worked my way up to the Marketing Manager position. If I wanted to become a Director of anything then yes a Bachelor's Degree is suggested.
Q: What do you like about your job?
T: I like planning big promotions and seeing that the guests of the casino enjoy them and participate. I enjoy the travel that comes with my job during the summer time when we go to these off-site sponsorships.
Q: What don't you like about your job?
T: I do not like being away from home during the summer, away from my family and missing out on vacations.
