Client Strategy Director

Why would you work for CLICKTRUST?

Why would you work for an agency instead of having a digital marketing position at the client side? Good question. Agencies have a reputation of high turnover, not having enough time to go into details, overtime, etc… Why would you join an agency with your experience?

First of all, there is no place where you can learn faster than at the agency side. By working on numerous clients and channels, you will rapidly expand your horizons – much faster than at client side, where decisions chains and infrastructure often hold you back. We often hear talented people get frustrated at client side as things move too slow for them. If you’re ready for a faster pace, CLICKTRUST is the place.

Secondly, the first of our company values is “Think like a customer”. Not “think like an agency”. Everything we do is guided by the question whether our actions are profitable and beneficial to our clients. This is the key to our success.

So what does a “Client strategy director” do?

Working in the position of client strategy director will put you in a key strategic role for numerous clients. You will work along the management of our clients, helping them map out the strategy both long term and short term, while working with the clients staff and the CLICKTRUST digital performance analysts to get the strategy implemented.

Your goal is to understand the clients business goals, and to help them realize these through the services that CLICKTRUST offers. As such, you are a trusted advisor to them.

You will spend a lot of time meeting clients and listening to them, debating solutions with them, and evangelizing our approach to them.  The second part of your job will consist of getting these solutions implemented by steering the CLICKTRUST team members that are working with you on these clients.

You will have several clients assigned to you in terms of ownership, depending on size and complexity.

To summarize:

• Understanding client needs and crafting long term strategies
• Communicating and liaising with the team to get solutions implemented and campaigns running
• Analyzing overall performance and communicating this to clients
• Following up closely with the managing director to discuss quality and the status of each project
• Performing quality control checks on the work done by digital performance analysts
