  • Partner with Product, Merchandising, Creative, Legal, and licensors from concept through launch.
  • Develop a balanced licensing calendar that can drive customer acquisition and revenue without overwhelming the core MeUndies brand.
  • Identify new collaboration and partnership opportunities that expand cultural relevance, audience reach, and commercial potential.
  • Ensure all licensed marketing meets partner requirements while still feeling unmistakably MeUndies.

Consumer Insights and Cultural Relevance

  • Build a strong understanding of the MeUndies customer through research, social listening, reviews, community feedback, competitive analysis, and performance data.

Measurement and Hindsights

  • Establish clear success metrics before every campaign and launch.
  • Lead formal post-launch hindsights that assess creative performance, channel performance, customer response, operational execution, and commercial results.
  • Turn findings into specific changes for future campaigns instead of simply reporting results.

  • Partner with Growth and Finance to understand incrementality, return on marketing investment, and the relationship between brand activity and revenue.

Leadership and Operations

  • Present strategies, plans, results, and recommendations to senior leadership.

  • Influencer and affiliate programs have clear strategies, economics, and measurement.
  • Licensing and collaborations support both revenue growth and long-term brand equity.
