Research and introduce new ideation practices and staff trainings that lead us to big ideas, resulting in creating “Work That Matters”. Regularly share resources with staff (newsletters, book recommendations, trainings) to keep the importance of creativity top-of-mind.
• Keep Up – You stay updated as to what’s going on in the world around you. You understand and participate in culture. You know enough AI to be dangerous and understand how to adapt it to real world creative. You’re always looking for the next big thing.
• Think Strategically: Collaborate with Insights team/MDs to determine what information is needed to help shape strat-storms and brainstorms. Work along account teams to gain clarity and tighten up creative briefs.
• Win New Business: Participate in new business presentations/pitches, play a lead role with clients, galvanize a room and establish credibility as a creative expert.
• Lead by Example: Serve as a role model for young leaders/peers who aspire to hold leadership positions within the agency.
