What you SHOULD KNOW about VaynerMedia
Think 'lab' and not 'agency'. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft.
We believe 100% that brands can be built on digital platforms and part of our model is built bottom up, flipping the traditional advertising model and process on its head. We don’t play to agency/industry norms and our culture and energy reflects that.
We work together, in person. We’ve found that working 4 days a week from the office fosters the best collaboration, mentoring, shared learning, and a strong team culture. We are creative and also understand that ‘office’ doesn’t always mean ‘office’ - whether that’s working on location at a shoot, from an art gallery to get inspired or side by side with the client.
Wherever the location, being together is when the magic happens. Flexibility is always a conversation we are open to having, as we appreciate the importance of balancing life inside and outside of work.
Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with our talented and enthusiastic crew and work with big brands excites you, as it does us!
We can’t wait to meet you.
