  • Provide clear feedback and honest assessments
  • communicate effectively with internal teams and clients
  • Stay organized across multiple priorities

  • Experience with corporate / talking-head (interview/testimonial) content, with a creative sensibility (preferred)
  • Experience with still art direction (photo/video shoots) and/or creating shot lists/visual references (as applicable)
  • Ability to come up with original solutions
  • creative flair/strong eye
  • Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite
  • Familiarity with social and digital media
