New client proposals or new project activations, perhaps part of a tender, where we lead the strategic direction of a presentation and work with the client stakeholders to develop the final proposal

Partner with Client CSDs (Client Service Directors) to support post campaign analysis reports (PCAs) or account development workshops with insight-driven strategic ideas

Developing story-first presentations that support account cadence with monthly and quarterly business review documents that support account achievements and highlight areas for consideration and opportunity
