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 Senior Art Director?
Does trite advertising make you shout loud, angry words that echo off your impeccably decorated walls? Do you know more about Adobe Creative Cloud than you do about your own family? Do you consider your annual holiday card a design opportunity? Do you collect fonts the way writers’ sweaters collect dog hair? The way that guy who was on Hoarders that one time collected rats? Have you ever sat motionless before your computer, debating the relative merits of PMS 2757 versus PMS 2767? Are you ready to shepherd an integrated advertising campaign from its first ketchup-stained napkin sketches to its final color-corrections?
Are you a Senior Account Manager?
First one in, last one home? “The responsible one” in groups you hang out in? Can you jibe with clients? Are you inclined to walk over to the writer and politely discuss whether the word “jibe” fits brand tonality? Do you question insight and strategy behind ads you encounter, to the point it annoys your family? Do you yearn for the next shoot you are heading to?
Was “review Y&L job posting” a line item on a to-do list you made while handling a bunch of timelines, budgets, billing statements and status reports on your current clients? Do you like cleaning up messes? Do you prefer preventing messes?

And detail-oriented?
