Purpose-built to unite Canada's top technologists, strategists and marketing leaders, our goal as an agency is to push marketing technology to its limits to deliver leading, human-first 1:1 experiences that drive business for our clients. We focus on marketing that matters, messages that connect, and a rooting in empathy and innovation.

  • Explore and analyze quantitative research and data sets, occasionally working with a data scientist, to evaluate performance, surface key learnings, and / or develop actionable hypotheses
  • Synthesize and develop strategic recommendations to build, optimize or extend our clients' 1:1 marketing ecosystems; distill enterprise-scale client challenges into actionable strategies and solutions
  • Lead 1:1 journey design (user flows), translating content, data and personalization strategies into an experience blueprint that can then be picked up by a technologist or solution consultant for build
  • Confidently prepare presentations and materials which articulate William Thomas Digital's client solutions and strategies; Credibly and capably communicate, present and influence all levels of the client organization
