The people make the place.
The place makes the people happy.
Every morning, bells ring out through the hundred-year-old building once known Indianapolis Public School No. 9, and creative minds get to work. This former schoolhouse is now home to us: a mid-sized, Midwestern agency that was anti-established in 1983. And over the years, we’ve managed to fill its halls with a lot of smart, talented, we-feel-lucky-to-know-them people.
The fact that so many of them stay on for years is a testament to the office being a pretty great one. And we’re not the only ones who think so. Ad Age and Outside Magazine have included us on their Best Places to Work lists year after year, and Adweek called us “the one where you’d like to work” in their United States of Ad Agencies.
We’re proud of the accolades, but more than that, we’re proud of the people who helped us earn them. Thanks to them, we’re not only a great place to work but a place to make great work.
As a creative organization, we value diversity in all forms.
We’re committed to being an inclusive and anti-racist environment where every voice is important and every employee is supported. We know we have work to do—not just in recruiting and retaining diverse talent but also in being a force for positive change in our industry.
We are developing a program to help students of color learn about our industry and help them take the first steps toward pursuing a career in advertising.
We are rebuilding our hiring process to identify and eliminate any potential barriers to people of color and recruit diverse talent more effectively.
We are educating our employees about structural racism, unconscious bias and racial equity, and we are intentionally creating a culture where people of color can thrive.
Open Positions
Are you a Business Development Director?
Can you pitch business like nobody’s business? Do you know the ins and outs of agencies? Could you rally a pitch team with all the conviction of a Scottish warrior? Can you find every CMO’s M.O.? Do you keep a wishlist of dream brands you’ve always wanted to work with? Are you great with a follow-up? Do you see every RFP as the beginning of a beautiful friendship? Are you, in all seriousness, just really good at talking?
Are you a Social Media Intern?
Are you awed by the mysteries of the algorithm? Borderline clairvoyant when it comes to social trends? Fluent in digital culture? Got a good hang of TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn? Can you keep an eye—and an edge—on a brand’s competition? Got a knack for social strategy? Do you keep a list of the best brand collabs that never were? Can you create a content calendar, and then the content to fill it? Know what makes a real good Reel? Want the lowdown on agency life?
Are you a Senior Production Artist?
Are you a prepress genius? Happiest watching good design come to life? Can you live and die by a brand book? Would friends describe you as “meticulous,” but like, in a good way? Do you have a lifelong bond with the Creative Suite? What about a miles-long list of print contacts? Know their lead times off the top of your head? Do you believe beating a deadline is the greatest high known to man? Got an eye for light and color that others find slightly unsettling? Are you something of an organization aficionado? Can you translate art director language into real, live stuff?
Are you a Writer Intern?
Are you super interested in advertising— in kind of a weird, nerdy way? When you drive by a cluster of billboards, do you think “psh, I could do that?” Can you write lists of headlines so long your Google doc takes a full minute to load when you open it? Are you ready to put some real ideas into some real client projects? Does the phrase “real client projects” give you a little sparkly feeling inside?
Are you a Writer?
Have you single-handedly filled enough notebooks to deforest the Amazon? Do you have graffiti charges on your criminal record because you took it upon yourself to correct a poorly written sign? Do you have to suppress your gag reflex when someone says “utilize” instead of “use”? Can you think of a hundred different ways to sell the same product? And just as many ways to word the same idea? Do you believe a well-written ad can have no copy?
Betcha we've been talking about how we really need someone like you around here. It’s just that we haven’t gotten around to posting the job yet.
So go ahead, and introduce yourself.
