- Staying updated with (and contributing to) brand tone-of-voice and style guidelines to comfortably vary voice, style, and other characteristics demanded by channel and target audience.
- Participating in creative briefings and brainstorming sessions, work-in-progress meetings and presenting copy concepts and final deliverables to the Brand Team and stakeholders as needed.
