  • An Ads ecosystem narrative, messaging, and outbound marketing strategy that reinforces market leadership across all marketing touchpoints, with consistent branding, messaging, and positioning across all channels
  • Priority Ads features and new product opportunities shaped by the voice of the customer, blending quantitative and qualitative insights from advertisers and the market, and influencing the product roadmap and business strategy
  • Strategic, high visibility launches and marketing programs executed and measured against product-specific business goals, building the sales pipeline and driving product adoption through thought leadership, industry briefings, and events
  • A sales team and advertiser base educated on the value of Instacart's data and measurement products, in partnership with Sales Enablement, with a clear investment strategy across paid marketing, trade partnerships, events, communications, creative, and content set with Growth Marketing
