  • Ensure seamless collaboration with media agencies and amplification partners
  • Align on roles, responsibilities and delivery timelines
  • Drive a genuinely connected approach between influence and media
  • Oversee reporting frameworks and outputs
  • Ensure insight is used to refine and improve the programme continuously
