Making Ugly MDF Pretty Again
When I wrote The Ugly Truth About MDF a few years ago, we were in the thick of it. For some clients, we were executing all the marketing their market
Marketing Project Manager
Since you've always been a stickler for details and getting things done right, we created a special project management role just for you. (really, we did)
Does this sound like you?
Wrangling chaos into order gets you excited. Why? Because organizing and clarifying things save you and everyone else time and effort getting things done. The chance to create and manage a system to deliver easily and reliably gets you out of bed in the morning. Plan - Execute - Measure - Adjust is a loop you embrace.
In your ideal job you’d rather have too many things to do than not enough things. While you prefer to have multiple responsibilities, you also need space to get things right and not cut corners because you thrive on reaching the desired outcome.
The Work
We are a B2B agency with a strong focus in technology and telecom where you'll have the chance to contribute from hyper-focused tactics to omni-channel campaigns.
You will be the hands-on lead for executing projects that achieve a strategy or vision cast with our clients and Marketing Directors.
Your Team
The team is collaborative by choice and necessity. We make ourselves available to help when you're in a bind, and we ask that you provide the same level of support.
We are a "pull" organization - meaning we ask all our employees to take ownership of their projects and pull the ingredients get the job done. If you wait on others to tell you what to do next, you're in the wrong place.
