• Spot inefficiencies and suggest new tools, tactics or services to improve our client offering
• Stay ahead of industry trends, competitor activity and client category news
• Champion new ideas—from creative asset suggestions to smarter ways of working
• Support the sales team at events and new business meetings when needed
• Share learnings and successes with the team, helping us all level up
