Analyze and advise editions on the optimization of their websites and social media graphics, ensuring a high-quality user experience.
Work with digital teams to integrate innovative tools and formats into editorial productions (rich media, motion design, interactive storytelling).
Identify creative and strategic opportunities through digital innovations (augmented reality, generative AI, interactivity).
Ensure that the brand's visual identity is consistently applied across digital ecosystems (websites, newsletters, social media).
