* You'll be able to make a persuasive case for our clients' products and services. And sell them. But you'll understand you're the customer's advocate (not the client or agency's)
* Insatiably curious and relentless in your pursuit of excellence, you'll be both technically proficient and dedicated to the craft of writing
* An ability to persuasively present and defend your ideas and their execution
* You'll naturally think outside the box and your work will push the envelope. But you'll never write any clichés like those
