Perform comprehensive brand audits for each new client, evaluating tone of voice, brand personality, target audience, key messaging pillars, and visual identity.

Develop and sustain a comprehensive grasp of HARD Media’s branding philosophy, which centers on the principle that branding is fundamentally about shaping perception.

You must demonstrate poise and professionalism in client interactions, with the ability to autonomously secure new business and foster long-term client relationships.
