About John Benedict
Award-winning content writer and proven creative leader.Superpowers: difficult client whispering, elephant-in-the-room identification,cultural origami, rejection immunity, and humor.Internal point of tension: a love of data and a white-hot disdain for its misuse.I want to balance concept and craft at the highest level possible, to the benefit of culture, company and client, in that order.
