A day in the life
No two days look the same, but here's a glimpse into what leading the US Twitch Ads strategy looks like in practice.

You start your morning reviewing revenue and ad product performance data — spotting a standout result from an initiative you launched a month ago that becomes your team's win story of the week. By mid-morning, you're in a cross-functional sync with the Twitch product teams, shaping the GTM narrative for an upcoming interactive ad format and pushing back on pricing that undervalues Twitch's endemic audience.

Upfront season means your afternoons are spent pressure-testing the Twitch pitch — crafting a story that leads with the hard-to-reach 18–34 audience Twitch uniquely owns, and positioning the platform as a distinct, premium offering alongside Amazon's broader video portfolio.

Between meetings, you're running a sales enablement session with the Account Executive team, walking through objection handling on brand safety and competitive positioning against other video properties. Later, your team surfaces a recurring theme from advertiser conversations: measurement gaps. You draft a product ask and add it to next week's roadmap review.

You close the day reviewing a draft from a GTM team member — adding feedback, making connections, and setting them up for success. The Upfront deck ships tomorrow. You're ready.
