Employer: Core Group
Are you passionate about fitness, sports, and cutting-edge wearable technology? Do you thrive on the energy of events and enjoy connecting with communities? We’re looking for a dynamic Brand Ambassador & Events Co-ordinator to bring Apple Watch experiences to life across South Africa.
In this role, you’ll plan and execute a year-round calendar of fitness and sports activations — from races and gym events to in-store workouts — while personally representing the brand as a credible and enthusiastic ambassador. You’ll manage everything end-to-end: event strategy, partner engagement, logistics, social content, and on-site activations.
What You’ll Do
Develop and deliver a 12-month events calendar for Apple Watch activations in collaboration with partners, communities, and retail teams.
Build and maintain strong partnerships with race organisers, gyms, clubs, and brands to secure premium event placements.
Own all event logistics, including supplier bookings, staffing, demo devices, signage, and budgets.
Actively participate at events (e.g., runs, spin classes, fitness activations) while showcasing Apple Watch features in real time.
Capture and package authentic stories and social content for our digital channels.
Generate qualified leads, drive iStore App downloads, and create seamless customer experiences at every activation.
Track, analyse, and report on event performance, content engagement, and ROI.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align in-store and online momentum before and after events.
Min Requirements:
Relevant Degree, ideally in Sport Science/Biokinetics, Marketing, Communications, or Event Management
2+ years hands-on experience in events coordination/production.
Genuine involvement in endurance or fitness communities (running, cycling, gym, Hyrox, etc.).
Valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel nationally and work weekends.
Strong operational skills (planning, budgeting, logistics) and partner relationship management.
Confident, credible presence at events with a passion for brand storytelling.
Mobile content creation skills (photo/video editing, short-form content).
Familiarity with the Apple ecosystem (Apple Watch, Fitness+, iPhone pairing) is advantageous.
Comfortable with basic analytics and reporting tools (e.g., UTM, Meta/TikTok/YouTube/GA4).
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
Be at the heart of the Apple Watch fitness community in South Africa.
Work on exciting, high-energy events across the country.
Join a passionate team that values excellence, creativity, and authentic engagement.
