At the forefront of the "omnichannel retail pivot," Erin and her team helped bridge between upper-funnel brand marketing and lower-funnel shopper marketing, testing and proving results for how digital marketing efforts supported in-store as well as e-commerce sales. She drove 10X growth on the Walmart omnichannel business in under 3 years, from $10M to $100M+.
