Description Our Department The dealer channel marketing team at SWF is an exciting and fast-paced department that connects our brands to our vast network of independent dealers and franchises, who ultimately sell our products to consumers in the marketplace. The role of channel marketing spans many activities from strategic to tactical and those in the department regularly interact with nearly every other functional area within the organization – brand strategy, digital marketing, product management, sales, customer service and pricing.
