Persuasive Leadership: You partner with Client Directors to pitch proactive ideas. You can stand in front of a CMO or VP of Marketing and explain why the current web experience is hurting their brand metrics—and more importantly, how we fix it. Web Ecosystem Strategy Marketing-Led UX: You define the Information Architecture (IA) and Content Strategy, but you do it with a marketer’s mindset. You prioritize content based on user intent, conversion goals, and brand messaging hierarchies. Tame the Fragmentation: The ecosystem is massive.
