Interactive Creative Director
A little about us.
We're 200 entrepreneurs. We've built a billion-dollar business – the city's biggest communications company by far – here in the cultural capital of the Pacific Northwest. We love Seattle. And its spirit. A ton of us have moved from New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles. By day, we work on T-Mobile, by far our largest client. As well as HP, Coinstar, Washington's Lottery, and KEXP – a gem of a radio station. At night, we've got all got diverse interests that make us fun the next morning. Our office has breathtaking views of Puget Sound. Decent coffee (sacrilege, we know.) And a keg to celebrate the local microbreweries on Fridays.
The opportunity.
We’re surrounded by the Nintendos, Microsofts, Amazons, Starbucks, and the rivers, lakes and mountains. In short, we’re naturally drawn to the Next Big Thing.
That’s where you come in.
