Organize & Manage : Maintain footage libraries, edit logs, and project files. Keep things buttoned up and moving fast.

Stay Ahead of the Curve : Bring fresh ad concepts, spot trends, and suggest new styles or editing techniques based on what's working in the market.

A portfolio of high-performing short-form content (paid ads are a big plus)
