Director, Integrated Marketing - The Wall Street Journal

The Integrated Marketing team leads the process of developing advertising RFP responses from end to end, ensuring that they're not only delivered on time and on budget for our clients but that they also promote our clients' businesses and lead to long-term partnerships with The Wall Street Journal and Barron's Group.

The Integrated Marketing team brings together the right people and resources to provide the best possible ideas and strategies to our partners -- understanding client goals, assembling teams of specialists, and leading the process to success.

Success within the Integrated Marketing team requires a passion for media, an editorial mindset, and a high standard for visual presentations, all brought to life through a working understanding of the current media and advertising landscape.
