  • Lead Strategic Workshops: Lead high-profile strategic workshops internally, with clients, and with their cross-functional teams to collaborate on brand strategies, patient journeys, and tactical planning.
  • Drive Omnichannel Engagement: Drive customer engagement strategies as an expression of broader brand strategies, developing integrated campaigns across email, web, search, media, and social channels (as well as leveraging creator collaborations and emergent technologies).

  • Analytical & Data-Driven Mindset: A customer-first mindset with sound knowledge of data, statistical analytical methods, and measurement principles.
  • Strategic & Marketing Acumen: Deep marketing knowledge, business acumen, and an inherent curiosity to uncover the truth behind consumer and patient behaviors.
  • Exceptional Communication: Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills, with a natural presence that builds trust with clients and internal teams.
  • Collaboration & Organization: Proactive, with excellent collaborative skills and the ability to identify strategic opportunities across brands, campaigns, and markets, balanced with a high degree of personal accountability.
  • Digital & Analytics Toolsets: Hands-on experience with professional analytics platforms (e.g., Google Analytics/Adobe Analytics, custom dashboards, e-commerce) and social media analytic tools.
  • Research & Social Listening: Experience collecting socio/psycho/demographic and behavioral information through primary research and secondary data collection, including experience with social listening platforms (such as Brandwatch).

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
