* Strong experience across brand, campaign and/or communications projects
* Proven experience working with private sector and government clients
* A strong design background, with the ability to think conceptually and commercially
* Confidence in presenting, leading discussions and building trusted client relationshipsExperience leading teams and helping people do their best work
