“I prefer a situational management style that allows me to manage employees based on specific situations. I believe in team building and find that everyone performs their best when I'm available to answer questions, provide support, and let them work independently."

“I find practise, diligence, and patience allow me to handle whatever comes my way with positive results. For instance, making sense of chaos, driving performance beyond vision, and staying consistent are some of challenging tasks I feel the most fulfiled when solved. I encourage everyone on the teamtohave the same understanding and vision when implementing project plans."

“I'm a talented and creative problem-solver,and in my last position, I managed a staff of 26 writers, artists, and an in-house advertising agency. I hired an art director, creative managers, and used freelancers when needed.”

"I have extended experience developing PowerPoint presentations, storyboards, and audio and visual presentations. Because of my professional reporting, I have obtained approval for projects that include an increase in budgets. The company showed confidence in my ability to proceed with various projects to successful completion."

“One instance involved our eCommerce pages. The company was looking for more hits, so we were asked for new meta descriptions of our projects to increase traffic. After a few months, I tracked the data and found there were no changes in traffic. I suspected that the meta descriptions were not SEO-effective, so I tested some longer product descriptions and saw traffic build."

“I came up with a digital advertising solution to attract more traffic and convert users for a vacation campaign to a southern beach. I added CTAs with a form to request more information and click for ticket purchase. The basic keywords in the ad were not reaching all possible targets, so I rewrote the content to target golf lovers. The ad went beyond the typical beach-goers and targeted affluent men and women, increasing the conversion rate by 300%."

"Our department received information about a large but low priority project. I thought we should continue with other high-priority projects we were working on. Unfortunately, those projects kept growing and soon, the low priority project deadline was due. I wrote a letter to apologise to the client's rep and took full responsibility. I spoke with my team about adjusting schedules to work overtime and complete the project. To ensure it wouldn't happen again, I assigned dedicated account managers to our projects.”

"As a creative director, deadlines are the priority,and rush jobs can kill your career, making efficiency and punctuality high on the qualities needed. Others includeresilience, ability to focus, being able to think about the big picture, a sense of imagination to develop creative projects from scratch, and diplomacy.Having the courage to create innovative work and a good design sense are also needed.”

"I'm skilled in Adobe Creative Suite, Photoshop, Aftereffects, In-Design, and Illustrator. I'm also experienced in 3D modelling, JavaScript, UX and UI design, and CAD. Project management software that I have used includes Monday.com, but I prefer RoboHead since it's made specifically for creatives.”

”In my first few weeks, I want to review previous advertising and marketing campaigns, company data. As well, having meetings with the creative team and stakeholders for their input and question-and-answer sessions will be very helpful in my onboarding process in the group.”

“The key tomulti-taskingis to use project management software, update and keep track of each project individually, and prioritisetasks at the start of each project. Focusing on the organisation of multiple projects with my team, supervisors, or team leaders eliminates mistakes and keeps everyone up-to-date.”

“Conflict, to prevent from worsening, has to be addressed immediately.In a previous position, I had two employees who miscommunicated which assignments they each needed to complete. This left a critical part of the project unfinished, which then led to a missed deadline, which furthered the disagreement between them. I reassigned specific tasks to each coworkerand quickly finished the campaign. To prevent the same incident from reccuring, the three of us worked on a better task delegation process.”

"The societal trends toward web and app-based lifestyle will foster standardisation of design, on and offline meaning fewer obstacles to problem-solving. I think a 2D comeback in motion is a current shift, and a seamless integration between physical and digital with brands are becoming popular. Also making a comeback are brands owning a single colour, the use of animation, and greater brand transparency. I also the use of colour gradients, retro-futurism, and abstract psychedelia.”

“Since everyone responds differently, I try to use the method each team member prefers. For instance, in my last position, a team member was motivated by regular positive support, whileanother wanted critique and critical feedback. At the beginning of each week, I communicate with my team and review the goals, objections, and project tasks, and ask for feedback, share ideas and suggestions. I take one team member a day for a coffee break to build rapport and provide feedback.”

“I take a bottom-up approach for critical decisions affecting the entire company. I map out each idea, do research to seek out other ideas, and have a meeting with stakeholders to get feedback. With that information, I narrow down ideas to consider by feasibility, time, cost-effectiveness, and benefits and present the best decision to senior management for approval.”
