Why this role: You'll get to work on big brands that need ideas that spark headlines, conversations, and envy across the industry. What we offer: * Passionate, driven people | We champion a culture of people that do extraordinary work. * Consciously cultivated culture | We aim to embody the behaviors to build an inclusive community that is in it together, bringing both positivity and active listening into the workplace as we simultaneously strive to empower creative bravery. * Competitive benefits | What we offer full time hires ranges from the full spectrum of group health coverage options (medical, dental, vision) to a generous 401k match (100% dollar-for-dollar match, up to 5% of salary contribution), and a variety of paid time off offerings that reflect our investment in all aspects of your overall life balance and wellness. * Growth-minded opportunities | We aim to nurture a culture of real-time feedback, growth-oriented mindset, and plenty of training opportunities through VML and WPP, so you can continue to grow personally and professionally.

If you look at the world through a lens that's totally your own and you know how to get others to see it too, we're looking for you. We want up-and-coming creatives to look up to you, clients to love working with you and team members to admire what you do. If time is of the essence, fast should be an arrow in your quiver. If you're constantly talking, thinking and doing anything and everything about art, creativity, AI and innovation, you're exactly what we're looking for. And hopefully you'll end up exactly where you need to be. Working with us. About the role We're looking for big thinkers. Big ideas are the name of the game. Whether it's coming up with campaigns for new business pitches, uber-creative ideas for competitive projects or highly-conceptual thinking for work in need of a refresh; we want pie-in-sky, “man that's cool” thinking, presenting and executing. This position is solely based around creativity and coming up with ideas others can't. We need innovation, originality and craftsmanship. And it's not just ideas on paper. These ideas need to sing. Brought to life with art direction and pizazz that's impossible to ignore. Scripts, events, decks…you need to be able to whip up and nuance work that answers any opportunity that comes your way. More than just layouts, we want exploration and execution. More than just campaigns, but work that can flex and wow. More than just presentations, creative territories that have legs and guts. Oh and did we mention, social, social, social? If you can come up with ideas that have a life all their own, inspire others to do the same and get work in the client's eyes and over the finish line, you're perfect for this role…and your portfolio will thank you.
