Media Intern

Agency Philosophy:

Our agency philosophy is rooted in how we work. We do what other agencies do, but it’s how we do it that makes us the best partner.

• Think in solutions, not problems. Roll up your sleeves and do whatever it takes to achieve the common goal.
• Sweat the small stuff. Dig into the details. Understand the client’s business or challenge as well as they do so you can be a trusted partner.
• Remember relationships matter. Relationships are a tool that can lead to growth – for you and for the agency. Actively listen and put effort into your relationships to build trust, find mutual ground, and create better connections.
• Challenge creativity and data to coexist. We live in a data-driven world, but that doesn’t mean we sacrifice creativity. The marriage
  of creativity and data drives consumer behavior and fuels smart solutions and results for our client partners.
• Have fun. Communications is about connecting – we spend our days telling stories, being creative and occasionally racing towards impossible deadlines. All the while, we share smiles and let music and laughs flow. Together.
