About You

The essentials:

Process builder - Details are their thing! Folder structures? Massive google sheets? No problem. They can follow an organizational process, and if necessary, adapt it to fit specific client or team needs. 

Asset expert - You get specs. They don’t have to be a designer or an editor, but they should be able to know what questions to ask and be able to pass along details to a creative team in a way that’s easy to understand.

A knack for QA - You have experience checking the specs and quality of creative files before a project is finalized and delivered, or they’re detail-oriented enough to become a natural at it. They’re a cross-checker and perfectionist at heart.
