Lead client strategy by developing multi-channel media plans, managing client relationships, and overseeing a cross-functional team. Drive campaign success through analysis and strategic recommendations while ensuring account profitability and retention.
The Role
As a Senior Director of Client Strategy (Senior Media Director), you are the primary strategic architect and business lead within the agency, partnering with some of Wpromote’s most significant and complex clients.
