Marketing Strategist

DESCRIPTION

Join Brilliant Metrics on a quest to rid the marketing world of waste. Help us tear down silos, kill "big campaign" thinking and impart a results-oriented mindset where the mantra has been, “As long as the CEO likes it.” We are not an advertising agency, nor general business consultants. We are a marketing consultancy focused on helping our clients create sustainable marketing programs with built-in methods for continuous improvement.

Are you a data-driven strategic planner, leader, teacher and mystery solver? I’m not asking if you can make pretty graphs from Google Analytics exports. I am asking if you can architect measurable, sustainable marketing programs that produce unquestionable value for our clients. As our Marketing Strategist, you will touch almost every aspect of client work by participating in planning sessions, program setup, media and content optimization, experimentation and presentation. You are ultimately responsible for providing ever-improving ROI for clients through data analytics, strategic planning, process improvement, teaching and training Iterative Marketing Specialists and sharing knowledge with other team members so the entire team can speak authoritatively about data.
