You must be comfortable presenting and engaging directly with clients, representing agency work with confidence and finesse.

• Develop strong video, print and digital design for a wide range of assignments, including branding, layout, storyboarding, mockups, infographics, presentations, print collateral and signage.
• Ensure all visual design adheres to existing brand guidelines.
• Be extremely comfortable creating iterative digital executions, such as resizes of campaign assets for various channels - and overseeing others in this task.
• From concept to execution, bring an enthusiasm for solving design and marketing challenges throughout the life of a project, and amid stakeholder revisions.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across teams and potentially manage junior designers and art directors.
• Present your work comfortably and confidently in client meetings.
• Join client meetings, brainstorms and planning sessions for ongoing projects.
