• Set the direction and quality bar for CRM communication across copy, visuals, offers, storytelling and customer experiences.

• Challenge conventional CRM playbooks and introduce new formats, ideas and experiences inspired by leading consumer brands globally.

• Stay closely connected to consumer, creative, technology and CRM trends.

• Ensure CRM communication is highly relevant, differentiated and consistent with the brand.

4. AI & Next-Generation CRM

• Explore and scale the use of AI across CRM strategy, content, creative, personalization and customer journeys.

• Lead teams using AI-supported tools to develop CRM content and creative while maintaining a high quality and brand bar.
