Account Supervisor

WHO WE ARE

SS+K is a full service marketing & communications agency that combines the rigor of political strategy and the power of creativity to help brands navigate, create, and lead meaningful change. For nearly 30 years, we've worked with both disruptors and the disrupted- from big brands like Microsoft, Delta, Paramount, Mount Sinai Health System, and Iceland tourism, to challengers like Airbnb, WhatsApp, and Lyft. And our commitment to change has led us to create essential campaigns for organizations like Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Girls Who Code, Lebron James' More Than a Vote, and Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden. SS+K is part of the M&C Saatchi Group, a global marketing & communications network.
