Getting in with The Crowd: Careers
We’ve grown steadily since 2012 and stayed true to a vision that brings together agency best practice with the depth of knowledge you find in-house. To be a good fit for our collective you’ll probably be at account director level or above (we each average 21 years’ industry experience) and have the full package:
- Be a complete geek in terms of sector knowledge i.e. emerging technologies or fintech/financial services.
- Be at the top of your game in one or more comms disciplines but not afraid to get your hands dirty. There’s no requirement for pure strategists here.
- And despite being a freelancer, actually enjoy being part of a team that is genuinely collaborative and supportive. So you need to be communicative and committed and enjoy sharing your ideas.
The perks are fairly obvious: you get to contribute to cool accounts, work as part of a team of diverse, senior professionals (so you really can go on holiday and not check emails) in a positive and supportive culture, working the hours and days you chose, from home, for great rates.
Currently we are not actively hiring, but we’re always open to hearing from good people so do mail our founder Sam Howard if you feel we’re a fit… Maybe your success story starts here too.
