• Asset Creation & Manipulation: Utilize Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator to crop, resize, slice, and visually optimize creative assets ensuring clean rendering across all devices and email clients.
• Platform Migration Support: Build marketing campaigns within Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) while actively supporting the upcoming migration to a new Enterprise Service Provider (ESP) utilizing DCB components.
• Quality Assurance & Coding: Use foundational HTML knowledge to troubleshoot rendering issues, tweak layout structures, and ensure flawless responsive behavior.
