Local Marketing Associate - Chicago

Bond Vet is on a mission to strengthen the human-animal bond through better pet care. We offer primary and urgent care, so we’re there for pets when they need us most. Our clinics are designed with pets and people in mind: warm, friendly, and highly sniffable. We balance this design with a strong focus on technology, all built in-house, which means we can easily innovate our systems to improve the veterinary team, pet, and client experience.

• Create social media content from in-market activities and stay on top of local trends and opportunities to engage. 


• Monitor and manage the inventory of promotional materials and retail items across clinics and regional storage units. 


• When applicable, support our clinic launch function with local field marketing efforts, including flyer drops, signage placement, and event support. Track, analyze, and report on outreach and event effectiveness, offering recommendations for improvement. 


• Regularly collaborate with the marketing and operations teams to align clinic needs with field efforts.
