Our Brooklyn team is among the best in the world. We employ technology to help tell our stories, though we never use it as a starting point - nor do we limit ourselves to a solely digital perspective. We work hard. We are perfectionists. But we revel in stepping away from our monitors (to play ping pong or foos).
We believe fun begets innovation. If you share our mindset, maybe we should chat. All candidates must be US citizens or have appropriate visas. Candidates should also enjoy pizza (Grimaldi's is a block away). We are a dog-friendly workplace.

Sr. Strategist-Copywriter

NO RECRUITERS OR STAFFING COMPANIES.


We seek….An ingenious Senior Strategist & Copywriter who excels at problem solving, communication and bringing ideas to life. You are excited about digital culture, and love the idea of helping see ideas through from concept to completion. Like all of our strategists, you're proud to be "T-shaped": both a generalist (interested in, and good at understanding a wide range of areas and skills involved in interactive marketing) and a specialist (with deep passion, knowledge and talent for copywriting and content planning). You believe that clear, compelling communication is hard work, but you're able to make it look easy -- and enjoy doing it. And you're eager to bring your unique background, perspective and skills to a team that aspires to change the way people think about digital and interactive. We are currently soliciting candidates authorized to work in the U.S. at this time.

You must have:
- 3+ years interactive copywriting experience / digital strategy leadership.
- Agency experience (preferable) or equivalent experience that you think is even more compelling.
- A deep passion for tackling new challenges, finding unexpected solutions, and all aspects of digital culture.
- Exceptional and flexible writing skills -- you are a clear thinker and a clear communicator.
- Strong, clear presentation skills -- you can get people excited by ideas, and make the complex feel simple.
- Your own ideas about how copy and content strategy fit into the creative process and elevate interactive to the next level.
- The enthusiasm and eloquence to communicate your vision and insights to both colleagues and clients.
- A relentless desire to solve problems and draw inspiration from unexpected sources.
- A deep knowledge of popular and digital culture: not just academic theories, but actual, personal experience.
- Experience with disciplines that may include: branding, marketing, UX, game design, social & behavioral psychology, anthropology, behavioral economics, business, social engineering, or anything else that you think might be indispensable when developing smart, realistic and insightful strategies and ideas.

You know how to:
- Craft the perfect, distinctive, strategic voice for any brand or project, and how to explain the voice to others.
- Write killer copy for any context: you're equally comfortable whether you're writing 30 characters for SEM, 30 words for a status update, 30 slides for a deck, or 30 pages for an article.
- Express and reframe complex ideas in elegant and meaningful terms, both for our teams and clients.
- Take "the big idea" and express it across a range of different digital channels, adjusting to make the best use of each.
- See the connections, patterns and opportunities in digital culture that no one else can see.
- Balance and prioritize many simultaneous projects, and to recognize when you're stretched too thin.
- Manage yourself and your time: you don't need someone watching or producing you in order to have killer ideas, implement new processes and practices, deliver high-quality results, and get other people excited.
- Collaborate across disciplines to ensure that an entire team feels equally invested in both strategy and execution.
- Lead and mentor both colleagues and interns: we don't just want you to learn our process, we want you to change it with your own approach, and teach us how to be even better.

What you'll do:
- A whole lot of communicating, in all forms: writing, thinking, presenting and brainstorming.
- Provide strategic leadership and insight throughout all stages of client engagement, from pitch to postmortem.
- Work with clients and cross-disciplinary teams to imagine and create experiences, products, platforms and content.
- Find opportunities for brands to create value and add relevance, rather than just broadcast their messages.
- Build arguments, tell compelling stories that change people's minds, and help us make the internet a better place.
- Lead brainstorms, synthesize and refine ideas, write strategic guidelines and plans, and help others understand them.
- Develop detailed guides that help our clients learn how to speak, act and engage in a digital world.

When applying:
- Please include a cover letter and detailed resume.
- We'd also love to see writing samples that show your ability to bring ideas to life in exciting ways.
- We accept PDFs as a download, rather than attachment.  (Easier on our inboxes, really.)

Strategist-Analytics

NO RECRUITERS OR STAFFING COMPANIES.


We seek… a crafty Strategist with a deep knowledge of, and passion for, analytics, measurement, KPIs, and seeing the stories that are hidden inside data that other people find meaningless, dry or obscure. We are soliciting candidates authorized to work in the U.S. at this time.

 

You must have:

-        Fluency in one or more analytics and reporting packages, including Google Analytics, Omniture, Core Metrics. Plus, you’ve spent some time with social and mobile analytics packages such as Facebook, Radian6, and Flurry.

-        Experience with A/B and multivariate testing, using one or more tools.

-        An interest in emerging platforms and solutions, with the ability to assess their value to help determine a fit for project and client needs.

-        The ability to collaborate within a multi-disciplinary team, understanding the needs and concerns of colleagues, but able to champion and advocate for your areas of responsibility, and identify requirements to find solutions that balance and serve all needs.

-        Strong writing and presentation abilities -- you don't just uncover data, you see the meaning in it, understand what we should do with it, and have the ability to communicate those insights to both the team and client in a clear, compelling way.

-        Extra points for: being a WAA certified web analyst, experience with SEO and/or SEM, and agency experience, a degree in one of the following: computer science, mathematics/statistics or business.

 

You know how to:

-        Change the way other people consider, value and understand metrics at every stage in a project -- from the initial concepting, through design and development, through client collaboration and presentations. 

-        Adapt to the needs of the client and project to produce analytics deliverables that are relevant, and filter out those that aren’t.

 

What you’ll do:

-        Translate business questions into analytics implementation strategies, and analyze the results.

-        Design analytics tagging strategies, oversee implementation and validate they’re working.

-        Weekly and/or monthly internal and external reports.

-        Dashboard creation for senior management: internal and external.

-        Behavioral analysis of website and mobile applications using analytics.

-        Summary presentations for clients and internal stakeholders such as producers, strategists and executives.

 

When applying:

-        Please include a cover letter and detailed resume.

-        We’d also love to see some samples of your work: dashboards, reports and analysis – anything that shows us how you communicate data.

-        We prefer PDFs as downloads, rather than attachments. (Easier on our inboxes, really.)
