You can determine patterns that may not be obvious to others. You understand digital media metrics, audience measurement and content performance analysis.
• Audience inclined: you want to deeply understand audiences and have a strong understanding of audience segmentation and targeting.

• Curious and clued-in: you’re constantly testing and experimenting – both with product and with tools. A/B testing is a given for you in the work you do.
• Agile and a speed junkie: you can produce great work within tight deadlines, can cope with pressure and you can juggle multiple projects (in fact, you thrive on the thrill of tight deadlines!).
