What We’re Looking For:

· Able to take direction and convert it into structured creative concepts

· Comfortable operating between creative and account teams

· Detail-oriented but understands broader campaign goals

· Reliable and responsive in a freelance environment

· Interest in consumer wellness or behavior-driven brands is a plus
