We are an elite team of builders and operators—growth strategists,media architects, and creative thinkers—who partner with ambitious brands to drive measurable revenue growth.

  • Innovative Strategy Development: Continuously ideate and test out-of-the-box strategies. Collaborate with the team to develop custom solutions that cater to evolving client needs.
  • Engagement with Emerging Marketplaces: Lead the methodology and development for emerging marketplace media, ensuring our agency remains a frontrunner in e-commerce expansion efforts.
  • Client Relationship Management: Build and maintain strong relationships with key decision-makers across platforms. Ensure strategies align with client objectives and adjust based on feedback.
  • Utilize E-commerce Tools: Leverage tools such as Amazon Advertising, Walmart Connect, Roundel, Google Analytics, Helium10 and other platform-specific utilities to optimize our online presence and sales strategies.
  • Continuous Learning & Development: Dedicate time to understanding emerging e-commerce strategies, platform evolutions, and anticipating the future direction of the industry
    • Desired Background

  • Demonstrated expertise in Google Sheets and Google Slides, showcasing the ability to analyze complex data sets, craft compelling presentations, and drive data-driven e-commerce strategies.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills are vital for effectively engaging with clients, vendors, and internal teams. Must be persuasive, confident, and capable of building rapport.
