About us:
We work for the creative gods.
Our studio is composed of 19 people, united by one idea – if we’re going to put work out into the world it better mean something – it better be funny, moving, insightful, witty, or beautiful. Because for us, design and advertising aren’t inert. They are deeply powerful forces that help us understand our world, but also to shape it. It’s lofty rhetoric we fall short of multiple times a day, but our team agrees, failing at this is better than succeeding at anything else. And we guess it’s an idea that’s resonated with some other people, because we’re a fast-growing little shop, and right now we’re on fire. We want to invite someone to come be part of this place, someone inspired by our mission who feels compelled to be a part of it.
About you:
You are unflappable, optimistic and love a good problem to solve.
