Overview

You:

• Want to provoke positive responses with the work you produce. You need to be kept busy, to juggle various sizes of projects and diverse needs. You speak up when you have a strong opinion; you listen when you don’t.
• Have a meticulous eye — typography, color, dimension. You’re able to string together photography, graphic design, and video to create simple, straightforward campaigns on a regular basis. You have an excellent grasp of social media, and naturally think across many different media while putting together an idea.
• Understand that there are details too small to invest in. You’re not a perfectionist or an artist: you work within a scope to create brilliant ideas. You’re willing to splurge when possible, but equally willing to keep a tight budget if necessary.
