TOPOSOPHY is a European placemaking and marketing agency working at the intersection of strategy, culture, and experience. We help cities, regions, and brands connect meaningfully with people — shaping how places look, feel, and thrive.
Our work spans destination strategies, experiential marketing, and high-profile public events across Europe. In Greece, we lead some of the country’s most visible cultural and consumer platforms:
- DINE Athens Restaurant Week – Greece’s largest culinary event
- TASTE of Athens – part of the global Taste Festivals network
- STAY in Athens – a curated hotel and lifestyle campaign
- New platforms in arts, culture, and design – shaping the next generation of citywide experiences
Alongside this, we partner with tourism boards, cultural institutions, hospitality groups, and major brands to deliver campaigns with international reach and local relevance.
We’re hiring a Business Development & Sponsorships Manager to drive the growth and visibility of TOPOSOPHY’s event portfolio as we expand across Greece & Cyprus, the UK, and Ireland.
This role is about more than sales. You’ll be at the heart of building long-term commercial partnerships, shaping tailored sponsorship models, and ensuring that brands, destinations, and cultural partners see real value in working with us. You’ll engage with stakeholders from food and beverage, travel, retail, tech, and culture, negotiating high-impact collaborations and leading their successful activation.
The right candidate will combine business acumen with cultural curiosity — someone who understands both the commercial drivers of sponsorship and the creative value of experiences. You’ll be central to ensuring our city event platform remains financially sustainable, strategically positioned, and internationally relevant.
