A Performance Marketing VP search usually starts with a specific, uncomfortable fact: spend keeps climbing, but nobody can give a straight answer on CAC or LTV by channel. That’s not a media-buying problem — it’s a leadership gap.
MarketSearch Executive Search runs confidential, retained searches built around candidates who own efficiency, not just execution.
The short answer
MarketSearch Executive Search places Performance Marketing VPs who own CAC and LTV, not just spend and reach. Average four weeks from kickoff to signed offer, with a 99% first-year retention rate, guaranteed.
Ad platforms now automate most of what used to be the job — bidding, targeting, basic optimization. What separates a strong leader today is ownership of CAC and LTV by channel, fluency in GA4 and modern attribution, and the judgment to move budget based on current data rather than last quarter’s habits.
We go directly to candidates already producing these outcomes elsewhere. We don’t build a shortlist from resumes alone.
We define your specific efficiency problem and the outcomes expected in the first 12 months.
We identify candidates already producing CAC/LTV results in comparable roles.
We approach candidates with a credible, specific story about your growth stage and channel mix.
We test attribution fluency, efficiency ownership, and lean-team operating experience directly.
We support offer strategy through to a signed offer — four weeks on average.
We remain accountable through the first year, backed by our retention guarantee.
The short answer
Confidence that every candidate you meet can already explain, in specifics, how they’ve moved CAC and LTV — not just described the job.
