• Work closely with design counterparts to ensure their deadlines and deliverables are clear and achieved.
• Keep all deadlines accurate and current across internal and client workback documents as timelines shift.

• Keep the Creative Director and Creative Services Manager informed on overall project health.
• Coordinate and manage all design requests from Account and Production, prioritizing by timeline and urgency.
