Event and Podcast Logistics: Assisting in the planning and execution of client and Stratos-led events and thought leadership opportunities.
Reporting & Research: Regular reporting for client communications and supporting the Communications Lead in creating new ideas for continued engagement/ growth/ awareness across their channels.
