• Present creative concepts and rationale confidently to internal teams and clients.
• Work closely with designers, copywriters, production teams and other stakeholders to execute ideas.
• Ensure creative consistency across multiple platforms and campaign touchpoints.
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced agency environment.
• Keep up with advertising, culture, design trends, emerging technology and AI tools.
• Explore new creative techniques and technologies to improve the quality and effectiveness of campaigns.

• Ability to handle multiple projects and work under tight deadlines.
