• Brief, steer, and hold external partners accountable.
• Build audience strategies, creative testing frameworks, and campaign architectures for paid social channels.
• Stand up measurement frameworks, attribution models, tagging systems, and reporting dashboards.
• Design and execute testing programs across creative audiences, channels, and bidding strategies.
• Use AI for bidding optimization, audience modeling, creative iteration, and performance analysis.
• Drive full-funnel programs that serve the entire buyer journey.
• Translate platform metrics into business outcomes: pipeline generated, cost per opportunity, influenced revenue.
