Marketing Stunts

TLDR

Lead the creation of bold, unconventional marketing stunts that capture attention and spark cultural conversations, collaborating with multiple teams to execute original concepts.

What is Kalshi?

Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events and turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the US for the first time in history, is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has thousands of markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more.

We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position.

  • Our vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet.

  • Our mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets.

Our culture is simple: we hire really talented people, work really hard, and enjoy the climb. We are looking for ambitious and exceptional people to join our (relatively small) team to help us build the next generation of financial markets.

Role Roadmap

Our Marketing Stunt Coordinator will lead the creation of bold, unconventional marketing stunts and experimental brand moments that capture attention and spark conversation. This is not a traditional events role—it’s an idea-generation role. You will be responsible for constantly coming up with original, culturally sharp concepts that make people stop, share, debate, and engage. Some ideas will be scrappy and fast. Others could scale into major flagship moments.

This role is about creative velocity: generating a high volume of inventive concepts, pressure-testing them quickly with internal partners, and rapidly iterating to determine what’s worth building. Many of the ideas will not be “necessary” in the traditional marketing sense—they’re exploratory, provocative, and fun. The best ones will break through precisely because they feel unexpected and non-obvious. Success in this role means being endlessly curious, culturally aware, and capable of dreaming up ideas that don’t come from a playbook—or a prompt.

What You’ll Do

  • Generate a constant pipeline of bold, unconventional marketing stunt ideas designed to earn attention and drive cultural conversation

  • Rapidly ideate across formats—physical installations, digital-first activations, PR-driven spectacles, unexpected partnerships, or hybrid concepts

  • Collaborate with Brand, Creative, PR, Social, Content, and Growth teams to workshop and refine concepts in real time

  • Quickly assess which ideas are worth pursuing, pressure-test feasibility, and iterate toward execution-ready concepts

  • Lead select concepts from idea through execution, working with agencies, fabricators, and production partners as needed

  • Operate comfortably across a wide range of budgets—from scrappy, fast-turn activations to large-scale, high-visibility moments

  • Identify culturally relevant hooks in current events, internet trends, and news cycles and translate them into stunt-ready concepts

  • Write tight, compelling internal concept briefs that clearly articulate the idea, why it works, and how it wins

  • Ensure stunts feel differentiated, newsworthy, and aligned with brand positioning

  • Measure impact across earned media, social engagement, reach, and brand sentiment

  • Build a reputation internally as the person who always has another idea

What You Bring

  • 2–5+ years of experience in experiential marketing, creative strategy, brand activations, or stunt-driven campaigns

  • Demonstrated history of developing and launching 2–3+ marketing stunts or unconventional brand activations (with examples you can share)

  • Exceptional idea generation skills—you can produce many concepts quickly without sacrificing originality

  • Strong instinct for what is culturally interesting, surprising, or conversation-worthy

  • Ability to think experimentally and embrace ideas that are atypical, weird, playful, or exploratory

  • Comfort collaborating in fast-moving brainstorm environments and iterating ideas live

  • Strong bias toward action and resourcefulness—you figure out how to make things happen

  • Clear written and verbal communicator who can sell an idea internally

What This Role Is

  • A creative engine for bold, experimental marketing stunts

  • A high-velocity idea generator who thrives on coming up with concepts quickly and refining them collaboratively

  • A builder of fun, non-obvious, culturally sharp brand moments

  • A role focused on exploration—pursuing ideas that may not be strictly “necessary” but have outsized attention potential

  • A strategist who understands how to turn current events and trends into timely, stunt-ready concepts

What This Role Is Not

  • An event planning or logistics management role

  • A purely operational production position

  • A fabrication-heavy technical build role (hands-on fabrication experience is not required)

  • A maintenance marketing function focused only on repeatable, predictable programs
