• Demonstrating strong corporate citizenship, through active participation in company initiatives, learning forums, and leadership communities, serving as a member of the Digitas Boston Senior Leadership Team and the Digitas Global Network
• Willingness to travel as needed-you're open to new places, new perspectives, and new ideas
