HARRY'S COMMENTS: We are working with one of America's largest importers and marketers of specialty lighting for homes and businesses. This role is partially WFH, and the firm is based in the Southeast USA. Ideally, the client would like to see you in the office at least three days a week. About the Company Since 2004, we have handled many searches in the lighting industry, and it's amazing how BIG and VARIED it is. According to IBIS World, The US Lamp & Lighting Retail Stores industry is $3.2 billion, while Mordor Intelligence reports that the online market for lighting now exceeds $9 billion. If this is true, then roughly 75% of all lighting is now sold online. Within that space we have the market for lighting for holidays, special events, parties, and indoor / outdoor decor for homes and businesses -- my client's specialty. You might not think this one niche could sustain a voraciously growing company, but you'd be wrong. My client markets thousands of SKUs, all made to very tight manufacturing standards. The firm has four go-to-market strategies, including white label, B2B, DTC, and marketplaces. As the firm's new Director of Marketing, all of these will role up to you. While most of the firm's business is holiday-related, its cadence isn't an all-or-nothing affair like Spirit Halloween's, but it is pronounced. Fortunately, the firm's assortment includes outdoor and patio lighting, and it's constantly finding new applications for its lines, like so ... It does business all year round, with a crunch time between October and December. Part of your job will be to reduce the effect of that seasonality, which is doable. The firm's wholesale B2B business gives it the volume it needs to compete in the consumer space, and its DTC business pushes the firm to maintain a consumer level of excellence, thereby enabling it to offer ... • access to product experts and a dedicated account team,, • wholesale pricing and volume discounts,, • same-day shipping,, • 99.9% shipping accuracy,, • early-buy discount programs, and A major part of my client's B2B business involves selling (and warrantying!) holiday lighting to landscapers, a $12 billion market with 642K businesses. Most of these professional decorators/installers lack the financial and storage capacity to inventory holiday lighting until their residential customers request it. My client's model solves for that -- thereby allowing landscapers to make money in what would otherwise be the offseason. Genius, right? On top of that, my client is selling to the Clark Griswolds of the world, in addition to winning municipal contracts to liven up the downtowns of small-town America with giant Christmas trees, event string lights, patio and bistro lights, outdoor lit decor, outdoor rated LED bulbs and laser lights. Pretty much everywhere you look, there's an opportunity for growth. About the Role We're looking for the marketing equivalent of the spinning plate guy on the Ed Sullivan Show. This is NOT a P&L-owning role. Each channel manager runs their own P&L.
