Omnichannel Strategy

• The core objective is to design and execute a cohesive strategy that treats our retail and direct-to-consumer (DTC) channels as mutually reinforcing growth engines.
• Unified Customer Journey: Design a comprehensive customer journey map that seamlessly bridges digital discovery (DTC and paid media) with the final point of purchase, whether online or in a physical retail store.
• Retail Velocity Drivers: Identify and prioritize specific digital marketing levers that demonstrably influence in-store purchase intent and increase retail sales velocity (units/store/week).
• DTC Incremental Growth: Develop and lead DTC-specific strategies aimed at achieving incremental sales and acquiring new, high-LTV customers efficiently.

• Audience Segmentation: Conduct deep-dive analysis and continuous refinement of audience segmentation to target high-value cohorts and exclude non-performing demographics.
• Budget & Allocation: Oversee the paid media budget, dynamically shifting spend between brands and channels based on real-time performance data and marginal ROI to maximize overall return.
• Creative Testing Roadmaps: Work with the internal creative team or contractors to run structured testing on creative formats, calls-to-action (CTAs), and messaging for improved channel-specific efficiency.
• 3. Experimentation & Optimization
• A rigorous, data-driven approach to testing is essential. You will formalize the growth process and maintain a culture of rapid iteration.
• Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO): Design, set up, and execute A/B and multivariate tests on DTC landing pages, product pages, and checkout flows to maximize site-wide conversion rates.
• Documentation & Learnings: Document results, and key takeaways in the internal marketing playbook to create a searchable, scalable knowledge base.
• 4. Lifecycle Marketing
• Focus on turning one-time buyers into loyal, high-Lifetime Value (LTV) customers through personalized and automated communication.
• Automated Flow Deployment: Define, build, and fully launch essential automated email/SMS flows, including Welcome, Abandoned Cart/Browse, and Post-Purchase sequences.
• Customer Retention Strategy: Develop a robust customer segmentation model to deliver personalized messaging and offers that drive repeat purchases and increase purchase frequency.
• Loyalty & Referral Programs: Research and recommend a viable customer loyalty or referral program strategy to organically incentivize word-of-mouth growth and brand advocacy.
• Lapsed Customer Win-Back: Design and deploy re-engagement campaigns targeting lapsed customers to recapture lost revenue and reduce customer churn.
• 5. Retail/Creator Programs
• The primary goal is to use digital influence to directly impact sales at physical retailer locations.
• Retail Support Tool Pilot: Plan and execute a Retail Support Tool Pilot (e.g., Shopkick, MikMak, or similar platform) with a key retailer to effectively measure the impact of digital media on in-store sales lift.
• Geo-Targeted UGC Program: Conceptualize and launch a retail + creator amplification program to generate User-Generated Content (UGC) that is geo-targeted to specific retail doors, driving immediate store visits and product pickup.
• Promotional Monitoring: Monitor digital campaigns supporting retail promotions and provide rapid feedback to optimize messaging for in-store signage and displays.
• 6. Reporting & Analysis
• You are responsible for translating complex data into simple, actionable insights that drive the business forward.
• Dashboard Establishment: Build and maintain standardized weekly/monthly performance dashboards to track progress against all core business metrics, clearly separating DTC and Retail performance.
• Deep-Dive Velocity Analysis: Conduct detailed analysis of units/store/week data, cross-referencing this metric with geo-targeted campaign data to provide precise optimization strategies for retail partners.
• Performance Reporting: Deliver a structured 3-month performance report summarizing insights by channel and retailer, complete with a clear set of recommendations for the next phase of growth.
• Benchmark Definition: Define and track "Evergreen DTC Campaign Performance Benchmarks" and channel-specific efficiency targets to ensure all marketing activities are running at optimal levels.
• 7. Cross-Functional Alignment
• You will act as the key marketing liaison, ensuring all teams are operating with the same data and toward the same strategic objectives.
• Retail Calendar Integration: Proactively coordinate all marketing campaign launches with the official retail marketing calendars and internal sales goals to ensure seamless execution and eliminate channel conflict.
