IS THIS YOU?

• You always put the viewer first. Every creative decision, every campaign, every workflow improvement is evaluated through the lens of whether it makes the experience better for the people consuming your content.
• You thrive in a complex, multi-platform environment and know how to build systems and structures that make creative work scalable.
• You are as comfortable presenting to a room of executives as you are diving into a campaign brief or reviewing a motion graphics package.
• You see marketing as an opportunity to innovate and connect, not simply a mechanism to push viewers toward a product.
• You are as creative in how you solve problems as you are in how you design brands and marketing strategies.
• You believe great content is often the most powerful marketing tool available, and that a talent's authentic presence can do more for a brand than any traditional promo.
