• When it comes to advertising, you innately know the difference between r/FellowKids and r/Fellowkidssuccess.
• You’re a collaborator with powerfully persuasive written & verbal communication. 
• You thrive in a fast-paced, scrappy, deadline-driven environment and believe that “no job is too little or big”.
• You demonstrate creative flexibility & curiosity…you approach new challenges, clients, verticals and markets with equal enthusiasm.
• You have a talent for visual storytelling and presentation. 
• You have a passion for gaming brands and the creative possibilities associated with solving their business challenges. 
• You see opportunities through the lens of both Reddit communities and a brand, creating something wonderful in the space between.
• You keep a book/portfolio of creative work that champions your brilliant thinking.
