Who This Role Is Not For

❌ You prefer long-form content writing over deep data analysis and brand research.
❌ You view data purely as numbers on a spreadsheet and don’t care to explore how insights can drive meaningful change for people or brands.
❌ You struggle with statistical methods or quantitative research.
❌ You'd rather stick to the basics and avoid experimenting with AI-driven methodologies or next-generation research frameworks.
❌ You prefer working in isolation, with little interest in forging empathetic connections or engaging in cross-functional teamwork.
❌ You shy away from fast-paced, multi-industry projects and find collaborative problem-solving more stressful than inspiring.

• Published whitepapers or blog posts showing your thought leadership in the field.
