• Work closely with brand, sales, customer and insights teams in manifesting commercial ideas that deliver breakthrough results 

• Work to align retailer segments with brand segments – providing rich dimension into humans’ hearts, minds, and behaviors 

• Ensure creative delivers against requirements of brand and customer communications
