• Website & CRO: Act as a key stakeholder for the website, providing data-backed recommendations for landing page optimizations and lead-form improvements to lower our Cost Per Lead (CPL).

3. Reporting & Strategy

• Provide weekly pacing updates and monthly performance deep-dives for each brand.
• Translate complex search data into business insights for non-technical stakeholders across the three business units.
