You will conduct competitive analyses and surveys; work with client stakeholders to develop KPIs, and present your strategic recommendations to clients. You will guide healthcare organizations to develop long-term digital marketing growth plans and help position them innovatively in their markets.  With the support of our Director of Strategy, your insights and strategies will continue to mature our discipline and your guidance will inspire our clients to reach their full potential.

Deliver valuable strategy offerings:

• Develop monthly or quarterly client strategy reports or workshops to continuously raise the bar for clients’ strategy.
