"I have some great accomplishments on the horizon, including the launch of my biggest ever content marketing strategy later this month. This account is the biggest that I have worked with, and it's a fascinating campaign. I lead a team that created a series of interactive landing pages containing reveal marketing, contests, and gamification. Based on our trials, we expect to grow engagement exponentially. This effort has been challenging and rewarding, and based on how we drove this project home, this already feels like my most significant achievement to date."

The NY Times repeatedly states on their website that they are looking for people who share their values of "independence, integrity, curiosity, respect, collaboration, excellence, and are committed to the mission of The Times."
