Additional considerations and characteristics:

Positivity: Every engagement will have its curveballs and Be positive and a force for good in the team – even when faced with difficult problems. Be solutions focussed. Be prepared to contribute in areas outside of your immediate team. This means sharing resources, helping on other accounts, taking part in pitches or managing internal initiatives.

Digital & Industry Aptitude: Make it your business to learn as much as possible: reading relevant blogs and articles, attending training sessions, talking to experts and taking an interest generally in what is going on around you.  Be plugged into new trends and developments across the industry and particularly within the client’s sector. Understand the different types of available and emerging media, particularly online, including constraints and opportunities presented by each.

Strive for great work: Learn to develop creative and technical judgment and strive for the best work every time. If you don’t think it is good enough, say why and work with the team to improve on it before it moves on. Ensure you are driving quality at every stage of the project
