• Proactively monitor social media and influencer space for brand-building opportunities while also developing a sense of competitor programs and relevant cultural conversations
• Develop and track meaningful KPIs to measure the success of campaigns and return on investment for our clients
• Participation in office-wide initiatives, seminars and meetings to further professional learning and development
• Assist in the development and coaching of junior team members
• Actively participate in agency development and assist with new business
