About William Thomas Digital

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.

You will confidently translate strategic insights, pillars and recommendations into briefs and technical requests that inspire big thinking while supporting implementation-to-spec.

  • Lead the intake of client briefs and creation of requested strategy deliverables for a portfolio of clients

  • As required, create and facilitate internal and/or client workshops to further drive discovery activities and/or work through proposed strategies to facilitate feedback and buy-in
  • Translate business and marketing objectives into KPI frameworks capable of evaluating performance with precision
  • Employ a range of second and third-party research tools and tactics to discover or bolster customer insights and opportunities
  • 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
  • Capably develop a working understanding of the experience opportunities available through Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Oracle Responsys, and / or other leading Marketing Technology platforms.
