• Can work collaboratively (and solo, too!) in a fast-paced environment - whatever it takes to get the job done and be on-brand.
• Strong attention to detail and process: a problem-solver that tackles assignments on brief and brings proactive solutions to the team.
• Ability to setup and connect ideas back to strategy via Keynote and/or PowerPoint.
