• Champion the brand's voice standards and messaging strategy to drive brand consistency and evolution. We are on a mission to become even stronger, stickier brands with raised awareness and brand affinity. Our words and content are one important part of the puzzle to get us there, and that will be your challenge.
• Use Wayfair’s wealth of performance metrics and other data (especially customer insights) to guide smarter creative decisions.
