YOU’LL BE SUCCESSFUL IF...
You're a team player
You care more about the end result than personal recognition. You genuinely love collaboration and the process of working together to accomplish a successful final product.
You take pride in your work
Your copy graveyard is filled with the 287 headline iterations you worked through before you found the right one. You never stop at the first draft and find the phrase “good enough” personally offensive.
You’re a creative problem solver
You know that there’s more than one solution to every problem — and also know the best answers often aren’t the first to be considered. You’re willing to try anything, even (and sometimes especially) if you don’t think it will work.
You're a self-starter
You don’t wait for permission to go and do something. You see something broken, and you fix it. You have a great idea, and you make it happen.
You are committed to promoting dignity, diversity, and equality
Guilt-focused communications make you cringe. You believe in focusing on the solution, not the problem, and always write with dignity and respect at the forefront.
