NRG's New Chief Client Strategist

In a significant move aimed at strengthening its role in the creator economy, the National Research Group (NRG) has appointed Fotoulla Damaskos as its first Chief Client Strategist. Operating at the confluence of media, entertainment, and technology, NRG is set to redefine client partnerships in an ever-evolving landscape of consumer engagement.

The Need for Strategic Leadership

The modern media environment is characterized by fragmentation, presenting brands with numerous challenges. It's not enough for companies to merely leverage data; they require strategic partnerships that offer meaningful insights and actionable strategies. Damaskos has emphasized that their role focuses on offering clients more than mere information. Her vision aims to transform how NRG's insights drive business decisions and unveil growth opportunities.

“Brands need more than data—they need a true strategic partner to help them connect with audiences in meaningful ways,” says Damaskos. With her extensive background working with major clients like Snapchat, Expedia, and Amazon Prime Video, she brings a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record of translating insights into impactful strategies.

Role Responsibilities and Goals

In her new position, Damaskos will oversee high-value assignments, collaborating closely with various departments within NRG. The areas of focus will include:

• - Brand Positioning: Helping companies refine how they present themselves to resonate with their target audiences.
• - Understanding the Creator Economy: Analyzing how emerging content creators and platforms affect brand growth and consumer behavior.
• - Leveraging Insight Tools: Applying proprietary tools that measure fan engagement and brand performance to guide marketing efforts.

This role is not just about acquiring insights; it’s fundamentally about ensuring that these insights translate into significant actions and real change in how brands interact with their audiences. “At NRG, we don't just tell our clients what's coming next; we help them define it,” says Grady Miller, CMO and Head of Trends & Futures at NRG.
