Leading Ad Growth Marketing at Roku Advertising
Bio
Nice to meet you! I'm a B2B technology marketer, currently leading Growth Marketing at Roku Advertising, including marketing strategy and demand generation/performance marketing. Prior to Roku, I held marketing leadership roles at venture-backed startups TVision, Integral Ad Science, and Solve Media. I live in Cambridge, MA with my wife and son, and have a BA from Temple University and MBA from NYU Stern. Extensive experience straddling strategy and execution, especially in B2B (both at enterprise and SMB/scaled). Have worked in companies as small as 6 and large as 3,000, not including founding (and failing) at building a music tech start-up. Some areas of expertise: - Martech stack for young high-growth companies - Developing growth strategies - Defining ICP and core user/buyer personas - Tying marketing strategies to business growth - Hiring and team structures / team building
Expertise
Building a team
- Managed contractors and agencies in start-up phase to scale operations with flexible cost structures - Currently manage multiple teams of full-time and contractors at Roku
Content marketing
Currently lead our Demand team, which includes web, content, email, and operations/automation. At prior roles, have used content and comms/PR as a cost-effective way to build awareness and drive leads.
Go to market strategy
Extensive B2B enterprise and mid-market/SMB GTM strategy and planning experience at a variety of sizes and stages of company. From major product launches to re-brands to org launches.
Growth marketing
Currently lead growth marketing at Roku Advertising and have overseen the paid media functions at prior roles. I also oversee several segments at Roku Advertising that are focused on helping DTC brands grow through paid media.
Marketing automation
Have defined several workflows and automations to make marketing more efficient. Currently oversee the team that does this at Roku Advertising and a focus point.
Product marketing
Owned product and partner marketing for multiple business units at IAS, and currently doing lots of PMM and GTM planning/execution at Roku. Big fan of ICP/Persona, KPI setting, and building tactical strategies to drive success.
Public relations
I've led comms at several high-growth start-ups, both in-house and through agency support. Similar to content marketing, can be a very cost-efficient way to build awareness in the market.
Sales
While I haven't been a seller, I have spent a long time using marketing to drive sales and have been a deep partner of sales leaders. Happy to think through sales structures against business segments, and where marketing can make sales more efficient.
Technology and tools
Extensive experience developing and operating marketing tech stacks and system building. Hubspot, Mailchimp, Salesforce, Pardot, Ad buying platforms, Google Analytics are some recent examples.
Venting frustration
We all need time to vent! Happy to listen simply to listen or provide feedback/ideas on how to handle or how to move forward amidst change/complexity.
