ole Overview

The Managing Director, B2B is a senior client and practice leader responsible for helping B2B brands solve complex growth challenges through integrated strategy, media, account-based marketing, data, and technology.

This individual will serve as the senior strategic lead for approximately four priority clients, building trusted relationships with executive stakeholders while guiding cross-functional teams toward measurable business outcomes. They will also play a central role in new business—shaping differentiated B2B strategies, leading pitch development, and representing the agency’s B2B capabilities in high-stakes client engagements.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned B2B strategist who understands how modern buying groups make decisions and can connect brand building, demand generation, ABM, media, data, content, and technology into a cohesive growth strategy.

• Translate complex business challenges into clear, actionable marketing and media strategies.
• Provide senior-level guidance to client teams, ensuring work is strategically rigorous, integrated, differentiated, and aligned to measurable business outcomes.
• Identify opportunities to expand client relationships by anticipating needs and introducing relevant capabilities, partners, and solutions.

• Guide audience, content, channel, and measurement strategies across the full buyer journey.
• Ensure strategic recommendations reflect the needs of multiple decision-makers and influencers within an account.
• Turn market, audience, customer, intent, and performance data into clear strategic direction.

Account-Based Marketing

• Advise clients on the development and evolution of their ABM strategies, including 1, 1, and 1:1 programs.

• Help clients assess how data and technology should be connected across audience development, activation, personalization, sales enablement, and measurement.
• Partner with data, analytics, activation, and technology specialists to translate platform capabilities into meaningful business applications.
