Serve as senior strategic lead across a portfolio of client accounts, designing full-funnel, multi-channel media strategies, aligning measurement frameworks (MTA, MMM, incrementality), guiding budget and audience strategy, leading executive client engagements, driving retention/revenue/profitability, mentoring teams, and partnering with analytics, creative, and business development to operationalize test-and-learn roadmaps and integrated execution.
The Role
As a Director, Client Strategy (Media Director), you are the senior strategic lead and business owner across a portfolio of high-impact client relationships. You serve as a primary lead for the client, bridging the gap between their bottom-line business objectives and our integrated marketing execution, ensuring that every engagement drives measurable business growth while strengthening long-term partnerships.
You are responsible for translating complex business objectives into cohesive, full-funnel marketing strategies across the integrated media ecosystem. This includes architecting the media mix, aligning measurement frameworks, guiding audience strategy, and ensuring cross-channel execution ladders back to enterprise goals.
Beyond strategy development, you are accountable for overall account health—including client satisfaction, retention, revenue growth, and profitability. You serve as a trusted advisor to executive-level client stakeholders while mentoring and leading cross-functional internal teams to deliver exceptional work.
This role requires a balance of visionary strategic thinking and operational rigor. You must be equally comfortable commanding a boardroom conversation as you are guiding internal teams through planning frameworks, testing roadmaps, and performance optimization.

With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
