Nice.

  Long story short: company > your team > yourself.

Talented.

• You are talented in a way that you raise the bar for the whole team.
• Your work has real impact on the business of DDB and most importantly on your client’s business. Impact doesn’t translate into the volume of work you produce but is more about the quality of your outcome.

Our founder Bill Bernbach once said, “Life is too short to sacrifice so much of it, to living with a bastard”.
