    Mentor and coach teams through project development and performance management.
    Contribute to the innovative development of the creative department.
    Lead and partner with designers, production artists, writers, content analysts, planners, and Information Architects.
    Participate in strategic brainstorming, concept development, creative brief development, and creative execution.
