Hey, hello, hi.
It’s me, Molly Marshall.
I work across creative strategy and media planning in the advertising industry, which basically means I dive in category insights, audience segments, and media trends to spark neat ideas for brands and then I make them happen on a TV, browser, billboard, or food truck near you. I also make a lot of presentations with quality gifs and everyone laughs at my jokes. It's fun.
