As a platform-agnostic and talent-agnostic partner, we connect brands with the right creators, on the right channels, to drive measurable impact and business growth. We won’t bury the lead: success in this role requires a creative “free-range” mindset, paired with immaculate project management skills and attention to the finer details. We combine our passion for culture with an infectious commitment to driving meaningful results for our clients. Sure, every agency will have a ‘work hard, play harder’ environment. Our approach is: work smarter, play better. With a 92% renewal rate, brands don’t just work with us—they stay with us. A job description won’t do Open Influence’s company culture justice, but we’ll give you a snapshot in a few bullets. We understand that culture starts at the top. Our management team has an ‘‘open door’ policy at all times, and actively creates safe, inclusive spaces to connect, share, and strategize. We recognize and celebrate each other’s wins, and pick each other up when we stumble (which, spoiler alert: we all do). We aren’t afraid to look in the mirror. We continually learn, grow, and improve what we do and how we do it.
