- Architect experiential activations ranging from stand-alone brand moments to scalable, mobile experiences designed for multi-stop executions
- Proven concepting experience with various budgets tiers to refine and execute experiential ideas in a tangible way
- Comfortable working with cross-functional teams—from production, creative, and accounts—to develop compelling 360° experiential concepts.
- Stay ahead of trends in experiential, consumer behavior, and brand experience.
