Fanaticsfbg Director, Marketing Investment + Effectiveness at Fanaticsfbg focused on optimizing marketing spend and effectiveness across Fanatics Commerce, Collectibles, and Betting & Gaming. Role involves managing marketing investment strategies to maximize fan engagement and revenue.
Responsibilities
Lead the FES marketing budget with Finance: total envelope, annual plan, quarterly phasing and the reforecast cycle.
Own the FES investment plan presented to the SVP and executive team: how much we spend, the brand versus performance split, the expected return on each, and the risks.
Set the brand and performance envelopes, and the return guardrails each must meet (e.g. blended CAC and payback for performance; reach, awareness and demand for brand).
Decide in-year moves between brand and performance, using portfolio-level response curves and marginal rather than average return.
Own the marketing mix model (in-house or vendor): design, calibration with experiments and falsification checks, as the single source of truth for the incremental return of brand and performance spend.
Own the FES test agenda and governance: incrementality tests prioritized by budget at stake, pre-registration, power and sample size, no early looks before the registered read, decision rules (scale, hold, cut) and a shared log of results. Test cells are designed with the teams that run the media.
Set FES metric standards (blended versus paid CAC, value windows, denominators) so the investment plan, the scorecard and team reporting all use the same reconciled numbers.
