To be successful, it is important that you have:

• Demonstrable experience in managing and delivering marketing campaigns across direct response TV or other online video channels.

Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world.
