• Brainstorm creative concepts with the project team (cross-discipline) and help develop original campaigns.
• Integrate ideas across multiple mediums: print, digital and beyond.
• Ideally, you will get direction and run with it. We look for self-starters, go-getters, and other hyphenated-type characters.
