Who We Are

We are an award-winning independent creative solutions company that aspires to be the most culturally-influential company in the world. We help ambitious brands harness the power of culture to solve their biggest challenges. As a unique mix of experts in culture, technology, and storytelling, we are united by a passion to grow brands in ways that advertising alone can never do.

We are seeking a Business Supervisor to support our Eli Lilly business, helping bring culturally relevant creative work to life for brands that impact people’s health. This role is hybrid and requires 4 days a week in our Brooklyn office, with 1 day remote.
