• Partner cross-functionally with teams across the company worldwide to ensure the brand is executed consistently across all channels, and keep brand initiatives aligned with measurable user growth goals.
• Own execution of always-on and major brand campaigns and 360-degree, multi-channel activations end to end—from planning through execution - including digital advertising, OOH, experiential, strategic partnerships, and influencer/celebrity partnerships.
• Manage campaign budgets, timelines, and agency/vendor relationships, working in close partnership with the Creative team.
• Partner with Creative teams to develop compelling campaign concepts, messaging, and creative assets that consistently reinforce the WEBTOON brand.
• Develop measurement frameworks to evaluate campaign effectiveness and to optimize future initiatives based on the results.
• Track and report campaign and brand performance on an ongoing basis—including the impact on platform metrics as well as brand health indicators such as awareness, consideration, preference, and perception.
• Develop scalable marketing frameworks and campaign playbooks that improve execution efficiency and collaboration across the Task Force and broader team.

• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to leverage consumer research, brand tracking, and campaign performance data to inform strategy.
• Exceptional project management and organizational skills, with the ability to independently manage multiple initiatives, budgets, timelines, and stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.
