Responsibilities

• Team Leadership & Oversight : Oversee team members on their various accounts, supporting them and facilitating their development. In this role, you will serve as the escalation point and oversight of day-to-day operations for client teams. There is potential for the associate director to grow and develop into a position on the management team in the future.
• Client Relationship Development: Grow relationships with existing clients through partnership and support across their growth strategy. You understand how to support brand partners and build relationships with them. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work directly with brand senior leadership - from Investors to Board Members and CEOs - to help identify and build their brands. This includes supporting them through growth stages.
• Digital Media Management & Execution: Lead, oversee and support best-in-class media planning, campaign setups, optimizations, reporting, and analysis focusing on improving Direct Response results across search, social, and display platforms for specific clients. Strength in both paid social and paid search would definitely come in handy, but we can support training if your expertise is geared more heavily towards one over the other. The goal is for you to have a holistic understanding of paid media channels and their effects on one another across the funnel.
• Growth-Minded Outlook: Going beyond the day-to-day paid media to truly understand everything that contributes to and leads to sales and growth is important in this role. You work with brand teams to understand their growth goals. You learn to look at the landscape, consumers, data, landing pages, creative, apps, pricing structures, etc. and brainstorm ways to further reduce friction in the customer journey and help to grow brands.

• Ability to think outside the box
• Understanding of how to pivot and shift depending on KPIs and business goals (not just media goals)
