Develop creative campaign ideas and communications concepts. Write and/or edit campaign copy, social media copy, briefs, presentations and communications materials.

Track campaign and communications performance. Prepare monthly or campaign-specific reports. Analyse social media, PR and digital performance data. Turn campaign data into useful insights and recommendations. Identify what is working, what is not and what should be improved.
