Job description

We’re looking for bold, creative folks to help us build the next big thing, experience, Ad for some of the world’s most iconic brands.

Think: viral moments that break the internet, ideas so wild they make AI question its existence, and cultural moments that leave people asking, “HOW???”.

Have some previous exposure to advertising - yes, just being a human who sees 10,000 ads a day counts! WINK
You love to MAKE THINGS: concepts, stories, videos, photoshopable things, and create content that makes people laugh, cry, or question reality.
Want to collab with a team of doers, dreamers, and disruptors who actually get it and get you.

Then this is your summer to create culture, not just consume it (while getting paid!!!) Put your name on work that matters. No coffee runs. No BS. No corporate cringe. Just creative mayhem.

You want to spend the summer teaming up with an Art Director Resident to use your legendary initiative to make cool things that are going to get people’s phones talking. You see endless untapped opportunities in crafting social content that will poke through the noise. You have plenty of follow-through fuel to keep the work + vibes fresh from KO to production.

• You write clear, persuasive, original copy. You are dedicated to the craft of words and their power, but you know you don’t always need words to tell a story. Step aside art directors, you can craft a narrative using images too. Even land a joke by speaking only to eyeballs.
• You work well with a team. You know when to listen and when to speak up. You can articulate creative concepts and rationale to your Creative partner, mentors, Creative Directors, and clients. You enjoy presenting your ideas and do so in a uniquely personal and influential way.
• You can work on multiple projects simultaneously and efficiently manage your time while working remotely. (Even when a new season of your fav show just dropped on HBO. We know it’s not always easy.) You can maintain calm vibes in positive chaos.
• You are all in for the inclusive, norm-bending GenZ revolution.
• You know cool things. You are plugged into music, and maybe gaming too. Your mom called you to ask what the Metaverse is. You’re a hypebeast. It shows.
• You’ve lived a little, been on adventures (your backyard counts), and have a story that makes your POV unique. You believe in YOU.
• You have experience with all the latest tools, platforms, and applicable software: Mac OS, Keynote, & Google Slides. Bonus points if you’ve played around in Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign. If not, don’t worry, we don’t expect you to be Art Directors.

We believe in visibility. This is the radical pursuit of our people and keeping them at the center, investing in and building a safe, strong community; pouring into holistic wellbeing; and fostering an environment of maximum contribution, so that they can focus only on doing the best work of their lives.

The Martin Agency is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and values diversity. We are committed to creating a place of belonging — a space where employees do not need to sacrifice who they are to exist and grow in our workplace.
