About the Role

TH Media is looking for a Client Strategy Director — a strategic thinker, digital-savvy marketer, and relationship builder who can bridge the gap between creative storytelling and measurable business results.

​

This role sits at the intersection of brand strategy, content, and client leadership. You’ll lead key accounts, craft strategies that connect audience insight with creative execution, and ensure every campaign — from concept to delivery — drives results that matter.

​

You’ll collaborate closely with our CEO, creative team, and social strategists to define goals, shape messaging, and guide how success is measured. You should be confident interpreting analytics, translating data into insights, and using performance indicators to sharpen both creative direction and client strategy.

​

We’re not looking for a process manager. We’re looking for someone who understands how creativity, content, and data work together — and can lead clients through that journey with confidence, curiosity, and vision.
