Who We Are
As one of the fastest-growing on-the-go drinkware companies in America, we’ve got a reputation for doing great things. Our vision is simple - bring delight to eating and drinking.
Delight is different to everyone. Whether it’s the perfect cup of coffee, or a water bottle that helps you crush your workout, our mission is to make it look great, function perfectly and cost less than you’d expect.
Delivering on this promise takes extraordinary efforts and exceptional people. Through our teams’ ingenuity and grit, we’ve created a place where the best ideas win, and they can come from anyone. Our culture combines the scrappy spirit of a startup with the perks of a market leader.
We believe the right way to design products starts and ends with two key ingredients: process + people. Process is the path that takes us from ideas to products that are on brand, on time and on budget. People are the secret sauce that adds ingenuity every step of the way.
Together, we navigate each day with optimism, curiosity, a healthy sense of humor and a strong allergy to the word “no.” This desire for better, coupled with a deep understanding of consumers’ daily lives, gets us to meaningful delight.

- TikTok Shop Affiliate Management: Manage affiliate product sampling requests, including reviewing and approving requests, coordinating product selection and fulfillment, tracking sample status, and following up with creators to encourage timely content delivery. Maintain ongoing affiliate communications and identify opportunities to strengthen creator partnerships.
- TikTok Shop Merchandising: Own TikTok Shop merchandising strategy and execution, including product assortment, featured product selection, promotional merchandising, and product visibility optimization to drive engagement, conversion, and sales growth.
- Affiliate Marketing Development: Support the growth and expansion of affiliate marketing initiatives through market research, strategic planning, creator and partner evaluation, and identification of new partnership and revenue opportunities.
Who You Are

Tips for Your Head of Digital Media Job Search
Quantify content performance on your resume
Head of digital media roles expect proof, not descriptions. Replace vague bullets with outcomes: audience growth, engagement rates, revenue from content initiatives, or cost reductions from consolidated platforms. Hiring managers in this field read dozens of resumes and skip anything that reads like a job description.
Build a portfolio that shows editorial judgment
A reel or portfolio deck matters more than your resume in most digital media searches. Curate campaigns or content programs that demonstrate you made strategic calls, not just executional ones. Include a brief annotation for each piece explaining the brief, the decision, and the result.
Target openings by platform mix, not just title
Head of digital media roles vary widely depending on whether the employer leads with video, social, SEO-driven editorial, or paid distribution. Read each posting for the platform stack mentioned and apply to the ones that match where you have the deepest expertise.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists head of digital media openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a cross-functional leadership story for interviews
Interviewers for this role almost always probe how you manage relationships with creative, marketing, and product teams. Prepare two or three specific examples where you drove alignment across those functions without direct authority, and practice delivering them in under two minutes each.
Negotiate scope before negotiating anything else
Before discussing compensation, clarify what budget, headcount, and channel ownership actually come with the role. Head of digital media titles vary significantly in authority across organizations, and the scope determines whether the opportunity matches your career goals.
