- Create and/or oversee the production of all forms of creative assets for internal (sales enablement) and external (customer/prospect audiences): a refreshed catalog as well as creative direction and assets for multi-touch and multi-channel campaigns
- Inspire the team live and breathe good creative — not developing creative for the sake of winning creative awards, but rather developing creative that brings the brand to life and engages and audience for mutual brand-business benefit and, as result, wins awards because of the outcomes
