The PITCH

We’re lucky that everyone within our walls thinks creatively, shares a passion for building communities, and understands the world of both big campaigns and social organic content.

• Mastery of industry best practices and the platforms we love, as well as be willing to learn and articulate the unique VaynerMedia POV on each

Your Experience

About the Company 

VaynerMedia is a global creative and media agency with offices in New York, Los Angeles, London, Singapore and Mexico City. We work differently because we’re built differently. We are consumer-centric, not boardroom-centric; We respect the internet's impact on culture, not Madison Avenue’s; We have the humility and curiosity to find what’s right, not to debate it for months on end; We are all practitioners; We scale the unscalable; We value real consumer signals; We create ideas consumer-up, not ego-down; We believe that it’s our responsibility to deliver business results for our clients.

What you should know about VaynerMedia

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.

P.S Send us your portfolio --- always excited to see some unicorn talents :)
