• Work closely with the production and delivery teams on a daily basis.
• Work closely with the strategy and client services team and be client-facing.
• Be an active participant when it comes to attending shoots, which may mean occasional evening and/or weekend work.

• Be hungry to develop and progress in your career.

What You Have:

• A creative portfolio or examples of diverse thinking and eye-catching ideas.
