Solid Gear was founded on the belief that safety shoes don't have to feel like bricks with laces. Designed for early adopters and fast thinkers, our footwear combines premium materials with cutting-edge innovation.

  • Develop communication concepts based on Marketing Plans from the Marketing Manager and creative briefs from the Creative Director.
  • Ensuring the visual brand strategy is clearly understood and embraced by local marketing managers and coordinators.
  • Contributing to Solid Gear's strategic roadmap and supporting the marketing process to engage our target audience and drive business growth.
  • Work closely with the copywriter, product development team, sales, and other stakeholders to align messaging and design.
  • Oversee and guide graphic design in line with communication concepts.
  • Plan and execute photo and video productions in collaboration with external photographers and production agencies.
  • Manage the production of brand materials, such as catalogs, presentations, and point-of-sale assets.
  • Control projects to ensure they align with budget, deadlines, and expectations.
  • Support local markets in implementing centrally produced marketing materials and maintaining brand coherence.
  • Participate in events, fairs, internal meetings, and conferences to strengthen brand presence and alignment.
