* Strong understanding of how to build and execute integrated campaigns across digital, print, social, and content.
* A team player who brings positive energy, perspective, and a collaborative approach.
* A strategic thinker who can brief and shape creative, with a sharp eye for detail and quality.
* Great with clients, confident leading meetings, and quick on your feet when things change.
* Background in automotive, motorsport, bikes, or another relevant lifestyle sector is a plus.
