Qualities and Traits: Who You Are

We are looking to invest in exceptional early-career professionals with a proven track record of excellence and personal initiative, who are looking to kickstart their career at an award-winning agency.

Not sure if this is you? See if the following statements resonate:

You Set a High Bar For Yourself: You aren’t looking to just check the box; you care about the quality of your work and actively challenge yourself to improve.

You Take Ownership: When you see something that needs to be done, you don’t hope someone else will take care of it; you step up and make it happen.

You Learn Quickly and Aren’t Afraid to Try New Things: You embrace the process of trying, making a mistake, learning from it, and trying again.

You’re Motivated by Goals and Measurable Results: You’re not content to just hope your work is improving; you thrive when you have a goal to work towards, and a plan for how to get there.

You’re a Critical, Creative, and Analytical Thinker: You don’t just take things at face value; you’re curious about how things work, how they could be improved, and what new solutions might be worth trying.

You’re Looking for a Career, not Just a Job: You’re not looking to just clock in, do busywork, and clock out; you’re excited about becoming an expert, taking on new and interesting challenges, and watching yourself climb towards your goals

What We Don't Require

A Specific Major: We believe there’s no one “right” major for this career, and the diversity of majors across our team proves that - if you’ve found a passion for the field, then don’t worry if your college major doesn’t “match” on paper.

A Set Number of Years of Experience: We hire for potential and for soft skills, not for pre-existing professional experience.

Technical Marketing Knowledge: This is awesome to have, but it’s not what we base our hiring decisions on. We can teach technical skills on the job, but we can’t teach a strong work ethic or a sense of ownership over your work, so that’s what we want you to bring!

The Job Responsibilities: What You'll Learn to Do

On-the-job training is provided in all of these areas. This breakdown shows what your day-to-day will consist of once you're fully up and running in the role.
