• Develop multiple creative concepts and executions tailored to different audiences and distribution channels
• Participate in creative planning, brainstorming sessions, and campaign development

Brand Experience & Creative Stewardship

• Serve as a steward of the visual Guarantee brand across all touchpoints
• Provide creative direction and visual support for events, sponsorships, office environments, exhibits, trade shows, and brand activations
