• A growth-mindset approach: A natural appetite for constructive feedback, a relentless drive to challenge stale brand paradigms, and a "leave it better than you found it" attitude.

• Fearlessness: Marketing has to create compelling stories from highly technical products and concepts, with new ones emerging almost every day. We must learn all the time, ask the basic questions, and be willing to fail in order to learn more.
