• You are data-led and are fluent in analytics, and know how to implement strategies based on data. 

• Tiktok, Instagram Reels, Pinterest, YouTube and the next big thing, it doesn't matter because you're across it all and know exactly what it takes to get a reaction.

• You stay on top of the latest platforms, tools and social technology developments that enable us to engage readers and achieve business goals.

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite programs (design and video editing skills are highly desirable).
