  • Refining success frameworks, KPIs and reporting standards to clearly demonstrate business impact and ROI, and guiding teams and clients to use data and insights to inform strategy, creative development, optimization and future investment decisions
  • Fostering sustainable department growth through thoughtful hiring plans, resourcing models, scoping, pricing and financial stewardship, and partnering with senior leadership to ensure the influencer and paid media practice operates efficiently, scales responsibly and contributes meaningfully to agency performance
  • Building, mentoring and retaining high-performing teams by setting clear expectations, investing in development and identifying future leaders, while fostering an inclusive, collaborative culture that supports creativity, accountability and long-term career growth
  • Leading influencer and paid media strategy for integrated new business efforts and identifying opportunities to expand existing client relationships through innovation, results and deeper integration of influencer and paid media solutions
  • Representing the agency through thought leadership, speaking opportunities and industry relationships and positioning Praytell as a leader in influencer marketing and paid media
  • Establishing strong processes, tools and workflows that support scalable execution and consistent quality
