Benjamin Kjos: Senior Creative Director
As a Senior Creative Director with the BI WORLDWIDE Media Team, I work to support our business units with ideation, research, scripting—and of course—writing! One day it’s looking at a print and digital campaign as a whole and the next I’m editing commas on a postcard. Every day I look at what I’m writing and say, “Would I want to read this?” If I’m doing my job well, the answer is “Yes!”
