About Marketing for Change

We are an advertising agency that leverages the power of social psychology, neuroscience and behavioral economics to advance social causes. Founded in 2005, Marketing for Change helps foundations, nonprofits, governments and companies “do good better.” Our 30-plus team includes copywriters, filmmakers, designers, researchers, developers and strategists — not to mention musicians, artists, podcasters, kayakers, and mountaineers. Because that part of life is just as important as work.

Location

Our work hubs are located in Orlando and just outside Washington, DC, and we very much prefer to hire people willing to locate in those areas. We are mostly a hybrid workforce with staff working together in-person at least one day a week because we value the fun and collaboration that allows.

Some of the perks

• We care about each other. We check in. We advocate and cover for each other. We cheer each other on. And we like to hang out.
• We offer a comprehensive benefits package including vacation, sick and holiday leave, 401(k) matching contributions, and paid parental leave. We offer a range of health plans including PPO and HSA healthcare, as well as dental, disability and life insurance.
• We are a deliberately developmental workplace. That means we will help you develop and pursue professional goals that match your life goals and purpose.
• We prioritize balance and flexibility. We are at our desks most days for 8 hours, not 10. We are open to schedule adjustments and flexible schedules.
• We are a flat organization. Everyone’s ideas are valued. Anyone can spearhead a new company initiative or make change.
• We care about social change. We show up each day as part of a fun and friendly work culture to do inspiring work that makes the world a better place.
