You have run through the marketing gauntlet of demanding clients, improbable deadlines and ridiculous change requests. Your extensive portfolio and references are your digital battle scars. Over the years, you have culled tremendous wisdom and now know how to craft a solid SOW, efficiently lead design and development teams, and rally creative directors and technical leads alike. You can spot the difference between a padded budget and a razor-thin one, and can produce a digital campaign budget with sharp expertise.
