The Ideal CandidateThe ideal candidate is someone who can operate comfortably at the intersection of business, brand, client and creativity.
You should be able to understand what the client is trying to achieve, challenge and sharpen the brief where required, work with the creative team to develop the right solution, and ensure that the final execution delivers against the objective.
You should be comfortable taking a project through:
Client Brief → Business Understanding → Communication Brief → Strategy → Creative → Execution → Delivery
Most importantly, you should be someone who takes ownership rather than simply manages tasks.
