  6. Be bold; pitch and deliver innovative ideas to clients and develop creative solutions that boost their brand's reputation.
  7. Fluently and confidently discuss social and digital strategies with clients, with an understanding of the role of SEO, website build, app development within an integrated marketing plan.
  8. Demonstrate understanding of earned, owned, shared, and paid channels, and recommend approaches for each.
  9. Deliver strategic senior counsel on content marketing, including how the content is published (channel, timing, optimization, influencer engagement).
  10. Create engaging and compelling content, including press releases, social media posts, and marketing materials, that resonates with target audiences.
  11. Stay abreast of industry trends, news, and developments to provide strategic insights and recommendations to clients.
  12. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop integrated communication campaigns that drive brand awareness and engagement.
