Yes, I believe that titles matter. The more ambigious, mysterious, and important sounding you can make your title the better.
I prefer the mysterious title of simply “Designer.” However, if people start to gain a little bit of understanding about what that means, you may need to get something even more ambiguous. A suggestion would be to take a buzz word like “experience,” “audience” or “creative” with something professional sounding like “manager,” “director” or “lead” and you’ll sound important, and your co-workers will once again be able to bask in your mysteriousness.
Never have a title that describes exactly what you do, perhaps Cory could get his title changed to “Advanced Digital Communications Architect II”.
