I'm actually NOT talking about technical project managers, really. Meaning, 
these are not IT or Programming experts. These are folks running all manner of 
interactive web marketing initiatives for large, blue-chip clients. This would 
range from running site development or redesign of a corporate website (think 
big brands, like Burger King or Sears or Lands End) to running annualized 
online advertising programs (i.e., all programs from ads to emails to viral to 
sitelettes) to running large-scale email and CRM programs for these clients. 
There is development and technology involved in all of this, but at least in 
our shop, we have technical leads who have the core responsibility for seeing 
that through, under the supervision of the PM.

I think a lot of the interactive agencies have this structure like Organic, 
Razorfish, Critical Mass, Digitas, Arc, etc. We are in that category.
