The Marketing department creates passion and relevance for the "Dolby Difference" driving sell-in and sell-thru of Dolby enabled devices, services, content, and experiences across multiple constituents – partners, creators, consumers, and developers.
Business requirement- E-retail is no longer a secondary channel—it is the primary battleground for consumer attention, brand storytelling, and purchase decisions in the United States. In today’s retail landscape, consumer journeys increasingly begin online, making digital retail platforms critical touchpoints for brand engagement and purchase decisions. Retailer websites are no longer just e-commerce storefronts—they serve as immersive brand destinations where customers explore product features, view demonstration content, compare options, and make informed buying decisions.
For a premium brand like Dolby, ensuring that this digital shelf reflects the same level of excellence, innovation, and storytelling as our in-store presence is non-negotiable. As we continue to expand our retail marketing program, delivering a consistent message across key digital touch-points become critical to delivering a unified brand experience.
Retailers like Best Buy, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Walmart, and Crutchfield all offer sophisticated online platforms that serve as powerful engagement hubs for tech-savvy shoppers. To fully capitalize on these opportunities, Dolby must invest in building and maintaining robust, content-rich branded pages on each of these sites. These pages must reflect consistent messaging, assets, and a compelling narrative that educates, inspires, and compels shoppers to seek out Dolby-enabled devices.
This growing need highlights the importance of having dedicated support to analyze, audit, and elevate Dolby’s presence across retailer websites—ensuring we not only show up but stand out in every digital retail environment.
