• A four-year college education (preferably with some agency/marketing work or internship experience)

• An awareness of the media landscape - you are inspired by the rapid changes happening within it - and have a hunger to learn

• Exceptional communication skills - you're skilled at working on a team, and problem solving and being flexible so you can roll with whatever challenges arise, client or internal

• A strong, proven ability to teach analytic skills to others, developing, encouraging, and inspiring them to grow

• Willingness to travel as needed - you're open to new places, new faces and new ideas

• Familiarity with prompt-based interaction and commonly used generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Google Gemini, DALL·E, Midjourney) is a plus, especially for tasks like ideation, research, or content generation
