    • Prepare and communicate performance insights to internal teams and client stakeholders.
    • Identify when a pivot is needed and proactively recommend solutions or strategic adjustments.

    Client Communication & Partnership

    • Present internal campaign strategies, mid-flight insights, and final results in a clear, strategic, and client-friendly manner.
    • Act as a consultative partner by aligning on goals, discussing ongoing progress, and recommending improvements to maximize ROI.
