Serve as senior strategic lead across a portfolio of client accounts, designing full-funnel, multi-channel media strategies, aligning measurement frameworks (MTA, MMM, incrementality), guiding budget and audience strategy, leading executive client engagements, driving retention/revenue/profitability, mentoring teams, and partnering with analytics, creative, and business development to operationalize test-and-learn roadmaps and integrated execution.
The Role
As a Director, Client Strategy (Media Director), you are the senior strategic lead and business owner across a portfolio of high-impact client relationships. You serve as a primary lead for the client, bridging the gap between their bottom-line business objectives and our integrated marketing execution, ensuring that every engagement drives measurable business growth while strengthening long-term partnerships.
You are responsible for translating complex business objectives into cohesive, full-funnel marketing strategies across the integrated media ecosystem. This includes architecting the media mix, aligning measurement frameworks, guiding audience strategy, and ensuring cross-channel execution ladders back to enterprise goals.
Beyond strategy development, you are accountable for overall account health—including client satisfaction, retention, revenue growth, and profitability. You serve as a trusted advisor to executive-level client stakeholders while mentoring and leading cross-functional internal teams to deliver exceptional work.
This role requires a balance of visionary strategic thinking and operational rigor. You must be equally comfortable commanding a boardroom conversation as you are guiding internal teams through planning frameworks, testing roadmaps, and performance optimization.
