Director, Integrated Media & Marketing

Who We Are:

Digital Matter is a next-generation growth and transformation partner built for the realities of today’s market. We combine the pace and precision of a startup with the discipline and rigor of a global advisory firm.

We help consumer brands manage media as a strategic asset class, with the same intentionality and governance applied to capital allocation. By connecting data, technology, and creative, we turn media investment into measurable enterprise value: accelerating growth, improving efficiency, and building durable capabilities.

Over the past seven years, we’ve guided organizations through IPOs, digital turnarounds, and successful exits. Our point of view is simple: when media is managed as capital, it becomes a catalyst for transformation at scale.

As the Director, Integrated Media, you will be the strategic owner and day-to-day lead for a portfolio of clients, setting direction, orchestrating channel delivery, and ensuring our work is consistently insight-led, performance-driven, and future-ready.

Reporting to the SVP, Integrated Media, you will lead integrated strategy across Paid Search, Paid Social, Programmatic, and emerging channels, while partnering closely with our Product, Data Science/Analytics, and Engineering teams to embed automation, advanced measurement, and AI-enabled insights into how we plan, activate, and optimize media.

This is a role for a modern media operator who can move seamlessly between: (1) C-suite narrative and value creation, and (2) hands‑on orchestration of integrated media execution.

• Set the investment strategy (media as a capital allocation problem)
• Own integrated media strategy across a portfolio of clients, ensuring investment decisions are tied to clear business outcomes (growth, efficiency, customer value, and brand impact).
• Build a deep understanding of each client’s objectives, customers, unit economics, constraints, and competitive context, then translate that context into actionable media strategies.
• Lead development of dynamic, full-funnel media plans, including budget allocation and scenario planning performance forecasting and pacing strategy test-and-learn roadmaps and learning agendas channel roles, audience strategy, and creative implications.
• Orchestrate cross‑channel delivery with operational rigor
• Partner with channel leads (Search, Social, Programmatic, and emerging) to translate strategy into high‑quality activation and outcomes.
• Guide teams through the full media delivery lifecycle: planning, projections, launch readiness, in‑market management, optimization, and executive‑ready insight generation.
• Establish “clean” operating rhythms—clear briefs, governance, QA, and performance cadences—to improve speed, consistency, and scalability.
• Build a measurement spine that drives decision‑making
• Apply modern measurement approaches (MMM, MTA, LTA, lift studies, incrementality testing) to quantify impact, reduce uncertainty, and prioritize the highest‑return opportunities.
• Turn performance data into decisive narratives: what happened, why it happened, what we learned, and what we will do next.
• Identify whitespace and unlock growth opportunities across audience, channel mix, creative, and spend allocation.
• Advance the platform (automation + analytics + AI)
• Partner with Product, Data Science/Analytics, and Engineering to deploy dashboards, automation, and AI‑enabled workflows that improve clarity, speed, and decision quality.
• Help shape “next practices” in integrated planning, optimization, and performance storytelling by translating emerging capabilities into practical client impact.
• Lead teams and grow the business
• Mentor and develop talent across levels; coach managers and specialists to raise the bar on craft, judgment, and execution.
• Support new business efforts (RFP inputs, case studies, and pitches) and help articulate Digital Matter’s POV on media as an asset class externally.

• 10+ years in integrated digital media, ideally across retail, fashion, luxury, or adjacent consumer categories—with increasing ownership of strategy, delivery, and outcomes.
• Demonstrated ability to build and run integrated brand + performance…
