You don’t just see yourself as a creative problem solver; you have concrete examples of how you are one. You speak your mind, ask questions, and consider ways to integrate a big-picture strategy into campaigns, web content and data measurements. You find joy in crafting a narrative around data and working with others to support SMART goals. You like to talk about identifying behavior patterns that lead to creative data-driven strategy decisions.
