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
What You’ll Do
- 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
What You’ll Bring
- 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 strategies across Paid Search, Paid Social, Programmatic/CTV, and emerging platforms.
- Strong platform fluency across Meta, TikTok, Google, The Trade Desk, CTV, and related ecosystems—able to guide teams and challenge assumptions with confidence.
- A structured, analytical problem-solving mindset: you can decompose ambiguity, build a plan, and connect media decisions to business impact.
- Strong command of measurement and analytics, including attribution concepts, incrementality, lift, and experimentation design—with the ability to convert analysis into action.
- Excellence in performance storytelling: executive-ready synthesis that is crisp, grounded, and decision-oriented (not just reporting).
- Tools fluency: advanced Excel, plus data visualization/storytelling tools (e.g., Tableau, thinkcell).
- A confident client leader: trusted counsel to senior stakeholders, comfortable leading hard conversations and driving alignment.
- Operator mentality and end-to-end ownership: you can set strategy and also ensure the details land in market correctly.
- Proven people leadership in fast-paced environments, with a track record of developing talent and scaling standards.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience; emphasis in marketing, business, economics, analytics, or related fields is a plus.
