- An expert collaborator and someone who works well with other writers and designers.
- Strong ability to articulate your ideas and opinions and self-advocate, with proof points to ground them.
- Known for your meticulous attention to detail, ability to multitask, and a strong belief that an organized Creative is a successful Creative.
