• Handle color, audio cleanup, light retouching, motion graphics, and on-screen typography.
• Work with our creative director, strategists, and media team to tie creative decisions to performance data, and pitch the next round based on what the numbers said.
• Manage project files, versioning, and delivery specs across concurrent client workstreams.
