- Represent THG Studios externally at industry events, conferences, and key client meetings to elevate our market presence.
- Provide market intelligence on emerging trends, competitor activities, and client needs to inform future strategy.
- Mentor and guide junior members of the business development team, fostering a high-performance, growth-oriented culture.
