How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
I think people who are definitely creative to some degree would thrive in this industry. If you have a real interest in film, TV, advertising, or that sort of thing, this is the field for you.
I believe you have to be very ambitious because of the fast-paced landscape of brands. You really need to want to do well and tell stories.
You can't really stay and do the status quo, as everyone else will be doing that. Additionally, I think you have to be good with people.
You are constantly collaborating with many different teams, freelancers, and contractors. So, you need to be able to talk to a lot of people and be on their level.
Therefore, I think creativity, ambition, and being good with people are key.
