Client Growth Director

Darwill/Ross Media Inc.

Client Growth Director

Most agencies sell channel execution, Darwill sells growth and backs it with data nobody else has. We're a data intelligence and growth execution company. We help businesses identify their highest-value audiences, activate them across channels, and continuously improve performance through proprietary benchmarking built on years of matchback data that cannot be purchased or replicated.

We built our reputation in direct mail. We've grown into something much bigger. Today, Darwill combines data intelligence, multi-channel execution, and performance measurement into a single growth engine. We work with businesses of all sizes, from regional multi-location operators to national franchise systems, who need to drive real results at the local level. We've built strong lasting relationships with many customers over years of consistent, measurable performance.

Role Summary

The Client Growth Director is responsible for driving revenue growth within existing client accounts by identifying, developing, and closing strategic expansion opportunities. This role serves as both a growth strategist and trusted advisor, helping clients leverage Darwill's data intelligence and marketing capabilities to drive measurable local-market performance.

The ideal candidate combines strong consultative sales skills with deep expertise in digital performance marketing for multi-location organizations, franchises, and private equity-backed platforms. They understand how to translate growth objectives into localized marketing programs that generate measurable leads, appointments, customer acquisition, and revenue growth.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct strategic business reviews focused on growth opportunities and performance outcomes.
  • Align Darwill solutions with client business objectives and growth priorities.

Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Partner with Sales, Marketing, Digital, Data, Analytics, and Delivery teams.
  • Coordinate internal resources to support expansion initiatives and client success.
  • Collaborate on solution development, proposal creation, and growth planning.

Strategic Planning & Analytics

  • Leverage performance data and market insights to identify growth opportunities.
  • Demonstrate ROI through performance reporting, attribution analysis, and opportunity modeling.

Experience Should Include:

  • Experience supporting organizations in one or more of the following verticals: Hearing Care, Dental, Home Services, or similar localized consumer service industries with multi-location, franchise, dealer networks or distributed operating models.
  • Strong understanding of how local-market marketing differs from national brand marketing.
  • Experience presenting growth strategies to franchise owners, regional operators, executive leadership teams, and private equity stakeholders.
  • Ability to connect marketing investments directly to lead generation, customer acquisition, and revenue outcomes.
  • Familiarity with CRM platforms, customer data platforms (CDPs), identity resolution, first-party data activation, and marketing technology ecosystems.
