You're comfortable presenting to clients and agency or brand stakeholders, contributing to strategic conversations, and handling questions on the spot.

You proactively flag issues before they escalate, set clear expectations with clients and internal teams, and follow through consistently. You communicate well in writing and in conversation, and you know how to calibrate your message depending on the audience.
