  • Proactively provide creative solutions for clients and inspire others to do the same
  • Manage and mentor junior team members, by leading, inspiring and developing a team of innovative creative thinkers
  • Identify creative opportunities that blend emerging AI tools with traditional storytelling
  • Use AI to help streamline processes, such as workflows compress the ideation phase, expand creative horizons, and to develop campaign briefs & presentations

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

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.
