Sr. Director of Performance Marketing & Brand

Senior Director Of Performance Marketing & Brand

Elevate Cantoni from respected retailer to the definitive luxury design house. Build a modern, AI-enabled marketing engine that turns brand love into showroom appointments, e-commerce revenue, and lifelong clients. You are equal parts strategist and creative, obsessed with taste, story, and design craft.

A clear design point of view : As a living brand platform that shows up in product stories, showrooms, content, and press. Omnichannel growth : a seamless path from inspiration to consultation to delivery across showrooms, e-commerce, and trade. Content to commerce : always-on video, shoppable stories, creator partnerships, and client showcases that convert attention into action. Client for life : a CRM and loyalty system that knows our clients, anticipates needs, and creates repeat business and referrals. Progressive tech : AI woven into creative, copy, media, analytics, personalization, and service so we move faster and smarter.

Clarify and codify Beyond Modern. Refresh guidelines, voice, and visual language across every touchpoint. Lead brand campaigns that position Cantoni as a luxury design house and our designers as culture-shaping talent. Drive PR and thought leadership with high-impact placements, design awards, and marquee moments. Act as day-one brand steward and co-creative partner to the Creative Director. Translate design intent into campaigns, film, and press. Be hands-on with treatments, mood boards, shot lists, music and pacing notes, and copy that carries our point of view.

Architect a full-funnel system that grows qualified traffic to showrooms and e-commerce. Own media strategy and spend across search, social, video, display, affiliates, and emerging channels. Stand up a performance cadence with clear targets for CAC, ROAS, LTV, and appointment conversion.

Build a fast, in-house content engine for video, photo, editorial, UGC, and shoppable stories. Launch creator and partner programs with designers, architects, developers, and select influencers. Art direct photo and video from pre-pro to edit. Write scripts and treatments, approve selects, and protect the cut. Curate reference libraries across design, architecture, fashion, and culture to raise team taste.

Scale an audience that converts. List growth, segmentation, and automation across email, SMS, and on-site personalization. Launch loyalty constructs and referral programs for clients and the design trade.

Partner with the Head of E-commerce on site experience, PDP standards, bundles, Shop the Look, and appointments. Ensure typography, palette, and motion language online match showroom standards with no drift from the design system. Align brand storytelling and conversion strategy across web, showrooms, and post-purchase.

Create a national calendar of launches, events, and designer activations that drive footfall and press. Elevate in-store storytelling with displays, signage, and digital moments that convert visits into projects. Shape sensory design in showrooms across light, motion, sound, and scent so the space reads editorial, not retail.

Build a single source of truth. GA4 plus a lightweight BI layer and dashboards leaders actually use. Define attribution that leadership trusts. Use testing to guide spend and creative. Deploy AI for creative versioning, social listening, audience discovery, and forecasting. Pair testing rigor with taste. If it converts but looks off-brand, evolve it until it does both.

Coach and inspire a high-output team. Set clear standards and SLAs. Select and manage best-in-class agencies and creators. Establish a weekly operating rhythm that ships work and improves results every seven days.
