Company Description

As Leo Burnett himself once said: "At the end of the day, we're just people talking to people." This sums up how we think. We never forget that on the other side of every screen, watching every ad or reading every tweet are people. Not just pairs of eyes with credit cards, but human beings who want to be entertained, engaged, and listened to.

At Leo Burnett, we like to make the good stuff in life accessible to everyone. It's our agency's big shiny North Star, guiding everything from our work and how we build our culture to the values we uphold and the initiatives we implement to improve Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

We believe in the power of a strong culture that puts people and creativity at the heart of everything we do. Our incredible team is made up of some of the most passionate and creative minds in the industry. We've created an informal atmosphere where everyone is invited to share their ideas and thrive. Our staff survey shows record happiness scores over the last 12 months.

We are an open, down-to-earth, and friendly bunch who are always on the lookout for passionate and curious people to join our gang. It's never been more important to us to reflect the wonderful mix of people who consume our advertising. Our internal group D&I Allies at Leo's (DIAL) was formed to help us make and track progress against our commitment to DE&I. DIAL spearheads policies, processes, and initiatives to actively advance positive change.

In 2022, we created The Everyone Way, a process designed to embed positive DE&I practices into the creative process with our clients, working alongside DE&I consultancies The Unmistakables and The Diversity Standards Collective. We also support industry-wide initiatives such as Unstereotype Alliance, Free the Work, Just Runners, WACL, and Bloom.

Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are a core part of our DNA at Leo Burnett. We're committed to building an inclusive culture that encourages, celebrates, and supports our wonderfully diverse employee group, irrespective of their age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, or ethnicity. Diversity and inclusion fuel our creativity and innovation, enabling us to be closer to our people and audiences. We strive to create a culture and environment where everyone feels empowered and comfortable enough to bring their full, authentic selves to work.

We are committed to providing reasonable adjustments for employees with disabilities and for candidates in our application process. If you need assistance or adjustment due to a disability, please contact us.
