Director, Brand & Integrated Marketing

The Director of Brand & Integrated Marketing will own MeUndies’ overall brand strategy and translate it into a cohesive marketing calendar, compelling campaigns, culturally relevant content, and consistent execution across every customer touchpoint. This leader will oversee the Brand and Social teams while owning integrated campaign planning, product-launch briefing, content strategy, influencer and affiliate strategy, licensing marketing, and brand partnerships. This is not a role for someone who only develops high-level strategy or manages agencies. We are looking for a hands-on leader who can set the vision, write a strong brief, lead teams through execution, make decisions quickly, and measure what worked.

This role will work closely with Creative, Growth, Retention, E-commerce, Merchandising, Product, Wholesale, and Licensing to ensure the entire organization is working from one clear brand and commercial calendar.

Please note that this is a hybrid position of 4 days/week in our Los Angeles office.

• Ensure all licensed marketing meets partner requirements while still feeling unmistakably MeUndies.

Consumer Insights and Cultural Relevance

• Build a strong understanding of the MeUndies customer through research, social listening, reviews, community feedback, competitive analysis, and performance data.
• Translate customer and cultural insights into actionable campaign, product, and content opportunities.
• Track cultural shifts, category trends, emerging platforms, and competitor activity.
• Serve as the internal voice of the customer and help teams understand what is changing in the market.

Brand Communications and Community

• Develop strategies that deepen customer participation, advocacy, and community.
• Identify opportunities for experiential marketing, events, pop-ups, and earned cultural moments.
• Help shape how MeUndies responds to sensitive cultural, customer, or reputational issues.

Measurement and Hindsights

• Establish clear success metrics before every campaign and launch.
• Lead formal post-launch hindsights that assess creative performance, channel performance, customer response, operational execution, and commercial results.

• Partner with Growth and Finance to understand incrementality, return on marketing investment, and the relationship between brand activity and revenue.

Leadership and Operations

• Lead, develop, and hold accountable the Brand and Social teams.
