You’ll want to read this part

• Portfolio: Don’t forget to include your portfolio - if there isn’t a portfolio, we won’t consider your application. Sounds harsh, but we get LOTS of applications.
• Where you live & can work matters: If you live in Canada, are able to work here, and you are in one of these provinces: BC, AB, or ON. Otherwise, we’re sorry, we’re not set up to support staff outside of these regions.
• Lots of postings - only 1 role
  • We post the same role in multiple locations to help us cast a wide net.
  • Applying to each location for a posting will not increase your chances. Now that we've saved you some time, go do something fun!
  • This posting is for an existing vacancy we are looking to fill immediately and not a prospective future role (i.e. we’re saying this isn’t a ghost job).

Come be a Funatic

We believe you won’t perform at your best if you’re not having fun. And you can’t have fun if you’re not performing. We believe that this creates the best client + agency relationships, and is the best way to make great work.

We believe in respect, inclusivity, kindness, equity, and equality. We want to make a positive impact. We believe that collaboration is the fun part of being at work. We strive to create a culture in which “we” is more important than “me”.
Apart from loving terrible fun puns, we’re a start-up, and we're growing fast – which means you’ll have a chance to make your mark and grow with us. We’re also almost 100% remote, and that might not appeal to everyone – but if you value flexibility, it’s perfect.
