You have at least 3 years of dynamic agency experience (preferably PR) working on multiple client accounts, and you thrive amidst inter-agency collaboration. You are a detailed Project Manager in the making and have an attractive record for both servicing clients and working with your team. You have a deep appreciation for communication and an advanced knowledge of the media, influencer, and PR landscape in Quebec. More importantly, you feel at home in the influencer/meme culture space, and you’re an early adopter of new social platforms. The idea of working on culturally relevant, breakthrough programming excites you. No rigid hierarchical structure here. A good idea is a good idea, no matter who it comes from. We focus on clever and thought-provoking brand acts, unique creative spins on storytelling, and awesome digital content.

You’ll never be bored. We work hard for some of the country’s most ambitious brands and with some of the cleverest clients – on everything from beauty to alcohol, retail to healthcare, tech to government. And all the other things in between. We’re super team-oriented. We have a very strict ‘good vibes only’ policy. If you’re a sourpuss or an under-bus thrower, we thank you for moving along. We rise and fall as a team.

Community is important to us, especially with the team being apart for so long. So, we’ve encouraged fun (but safe) in-person outings where we can. Ever brainstormed with your team on a hike? We have. We love developing talent. We are in the people business and know we have a role in helping our team learn and progress in their careers. If you promise to bring a good attitude and willingness to learn, we promise to bring mentorship and opportunity.
