4. Content for the Field
  • Produce merchandising tools, talking points, and counter-ready collateral that supports outside reps, inside sales, and branch teams.
  • Equip Branch Managers to run local engagement that ties back to brand and digital adoption.
  • Ensure all field-facing materials are practical, accessible, and aligned to how branch teams actually engage with customers.

5. PIM and Portal Alignment
  • Work daily with the Product Information Manager and the eCommerce team so content syndicates cleanly through PIM into the portal.
