Be confident, bubbly, and a people person with a good sense of humour.

Understand the content and various channels: what makes a good story, blog, interview, podcast, emailer, executive LinkedIn post, etc. Attendance and involvement in new business pitches will take place from time to time to add variety and fun!

Strategy and Planning

The ability to plan ahead and compile campaigns – think content calendars, understand the communications ‘golden thread’, the core campaign messaging, and how to optimise content for audiences and stakeholders to deliver ROI.
