A. Strategy & Innovation:

• Strategy Development: Define, document, and implement comprehensive strategies for PR and Influence. This includes specific sub-strategies for increasing UGC volume and quality.

• Seeding Strategy: Design a strategic approach to product seeding and gifting that maximizes ROI. This involves identifying key profiles, creating "unboxing" moments, and defining tiers for gifting (VIP vs. micro-influencers).

B. Co-Creation & Market Partnership:

• Market Collaboration: Actively partner with local markets to co-create initiatives . This involves regular brainstorming workshops and feedback loops to ensure global concepts work locally, rather than simply sending guidelines.

• Cross-Functional Coordination: Serve as the central point of contact, coordinating input from experts and marketing teams while ensuring local market feedback is integrated into the final output.

• Meeting Management: Lead regular status meetings with local PR leads, utilizing these sessions as forums for two-way dialogue and idea exchange, not just status updates.
