• Present and communicate often to cross‑functional teams—including Digital, Retail, Regional Brand Leads, Scientific and Senior Leadership—to introduce campaigns, strategise plans, track progress and analyse results.
• Produce well‑designed decks (toolkits) to deliver all campaign assets and plans in an organised manner for downstream team members worldwide.
• Submit detailed briefs for specific asset needs (video, educational graphics, paid digital) and track progress with the design team to ensure delivery timelines are met.
• Proofread visual assets and copy to uphold a consistent tone of voice, including video scripts, stills and headlines, ensuring a cohesive consumer experience across all brand touchpoints.
• Analyse campaign results to provide short‑ and long‑term strategic recommendations for the brand.

• Act as the brand’s spokesperson for NIOD social channels, working closely with and inspiring the social team to build best‑in‑class content and advocate for brand culture across the organization.
