“If you can find someone who can personify the core customer demographic in a big way, this can often be a huge unlock for that creative strategist role. So if you don't have a massive budget to hire a senior director of performance, for example, I would try looking for people who are creating content, and that personify this core customer demographic to slide into that role.”
