You will also own the strategy that connects creative to results which platforms play which roles, how content is found, how creators and partners extend our reach, and how social insights inform decisions across the business. You will work closely with Earned Media, Guest Services, and the leaders of our restaurants, nightlife, entertainment, spa, retail, and gaming teams.
