Adapt plans for major retail partners (e.g., Walmart, Amazon, Kroger, Target) and their retail media platforms (e.g., Walmart Connect, Roundel).
Write compelling creative briefs and partner closely with internal teams (creative, media, analytics, account) to guide execution.
- Contribute to Agency Thought Leadership
Support agency PR efforts by contributing to case studies, award submissions, and strategic content.
Guide junior team members and help elevate strategic thinking across departments.
Define success metrics and collaborate with analytics to evaluate performance and inform future planning.
