Neiman Marcus
Director, Brand Media & Performance Social
Neiman Marcus, Denver, Colorado, United States, 80285
Neiman Marcus Group is a relationship business that leads with love in everything we do—for our customers, associates, brand partners, and communities. Our legacy of innovating and our culture of Belonging guide our roadmap for Revolutionizing Luxury Experiences.
Your Role
As a part of the Performance/Paid Marketing organization, this leader will play a pivotal role throughout the marketing funnel: brand media (social and all other channels, driving upper-funnel awareness and mid-funnel traffic), product, brand and category-based ads (driving lower-funnel conversion), and audience activation (for CRM segments and direct mail, driving lookalikes and loyalty).
This role serves as the key media link between the brand and performance marketing teams, with an eye on omni performance for media channels affecting our online purchase funnel and our stores. This role uniquely sits at intersection points between the brand organization (creative and production) and the marketing organization (media and analytics) and requires both a qualitative as well as quantitative acumen. This role will be a crucial voice in the overall media planning and investment process. This role partners with brand strategy, content planning, project management, performance, e-comm, and analytics teams to ensure measurable impact is evident in the deliverables for Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and our co-op brand partners (the brands we sell), both nationally and in our local store markets. This role reports into the Senior Director of Paid Media and up through the Chief Digital Officer.
What You'll Do
Play a thought leadership role in overall planning, execution, and maintenance of brand media and performance social strategy.
Drive growth and foster innovation by identifying key gaps and challenges, providing practical strategies and tactics, and helping implement the solutions.
Oversee the agency relationship for brand and coop media and performance social.
Oversee, mentor and grow a team of resources across Brand/Coop, and Performance Social.
Understand and exploit the intersection between paid social and traditional brand media to drive exposure, brand awareness and customer acquisition efficiently.
Collaborate with the manager of Performance Social to develop and execute comprehensive Performance Social marketing plans aligned with the company’s goals.
Identify new opportunities, emerging trends, and innovative tactics to drive awareness, customer acquisition and revenue growth.
Develop comprehensive brand media briefs for agency partners to kick off the planning process and RFP process with vendors for both brand media dollars and co-op dollars.
Develop seasonal co-op “rate cards” and presentations for the brand partnerships to utilize in seasonal selling.
Lead audience planning and maintain a centralized view of cross-channel audience segments, insights, and reporting.
Maintain well-respected industry partnerships with publishers, ad tech partners, and commerce edit teams.
Continually evaluate our KPI framework vs role of channel to enable effective measurement.
Own the development and management of the media learning agenda, in partnership with the external agency and internal analytics teams.
Share insights and champion media successes and learnings throughout the organization, up to and including executive team to advocate for future investment.
Work in the customer data platform (such as Action IQ or similar) and with audience enrichment partners (such as Windfall or similar).
Contribute to weekly, biweekly, monthly, and seasonal reporting and optimization, specifically via cross-channel performance and MMM/MTA.
Effortlessly pivot between areas of purview; prioritize and triage multiple deadlines and changing business needs.
What You Bring
Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, Media, Communications, Business (or relevant/translatable area of study).
8+ years of experience overseeing delivery of integrated media and social strategies (with ad agency experience a major plus).
5+ years experience in performance social with an emphasis on Meta, Youtube, Tiktok and Pinterest.
5+ years managing junior and mid-level employees (coaching their career development in tactical tasks as well as personal growth).
Experience in luxury and/or retail is preferred.
Strong experience developing data-driven media and paid social strategies with deep understanding of how to balance a media mix.
Experience in demonstrating how upper funnel media drives lower-funnel sales results.
Familiarity with brand tracking studies measuring outcomes like awareness, attitude, perception, and intent.
Demonstrated leadership skills with an ability to motivate, influence, collaborate and work closely both in-function and across the organization.
Experience collaborating with creative and production teams, reviewing ad specs, and working with various external publisher partners.
Familiarity working in project management, execution, or analytics suites such as Wrike, Adobe, Mediaocean/Prisma, Google Analytics, Meta Business Manager, Tableau, Rakuten dashboards, etc.
Experience working with co-op media programs, as Neiman Marcus brand media campaigns include heavy participation from our brand partners.
Deep knowledge of the entire scope of paid media is critical.
Knowledge of and ability to apply Boolean logic; synthesize audience strategies and customer priorities into actionable in-platform segments.
Familiarity with ad tech and activation ops such as URLs, ECIDs, and standard tracking tools and nomenclature.
Deep knowledge of media theories and foundations and thresholds-based planning.
