You're it for us!

• Conducting regular and thorough research on various topics, flagging relevant news updates for teams/clients.
• Proactively providing recommendations on new ways to creatively use data to drive and support our work.
• Using analytics and data to help develop and execute comprehensive communications strategies.

• Working with senior management to respond to client requests and ensure requests are taken care of in an efficient manner.
• Staying on top of trends, industry news and changing platforms across all forms of social media.

You should apply if:
• You have 3+ years of digital agency experience or working on digital/social strategies and campaigns, specifically in analysis, data collection and measurement.
• You are eager and open to learning all aspects of integrated communications (media relations, social media, creative, brand integration, talent integration).
• You are proactive about recommending new vendors or tools to establish relationships with according to our business needs.
• You are a strong writer – persuasive, concise, creative, and quick!
• You are a strategic thinker, bring new ideas to the table, and love a good brainstorm.
• You have strong decision-making abilities and accountability; this is an important role, own it!
• You have an innate curiosity and an entrepreneurial spirit…have a suggestion on making something better? We encourage you to do it!
• You are incredibly organized, detailoriented (see what I did there?), and able to excel at managing multiple projects simultaneously.
• You enjoy overdelivering rather than meeting expectations and take genuine pride in being part of something good.
• You're comfortable talking to clients and presenting your awesome, mind-blowing findings.

You don't HAVE to have this, but it sure would be nice:

• You speak numbers and data and can translate it into laymen's terms
