We are: A digital agency located at the Goat Farm Arts Center in West Midtown, Atlanta. We’re hard workers with a “just-make-the thing-already” mentality and a bit of a DIY attitude.
We help companies figure out who they are and want to be, communicate better with their customers, look great and be understood online on all sizes and shapes of screens, and promote the things they do via digital channels. (So: brand strategy, content strategy and creation, responsive web design, and go-to-market strategy).
You are: All about details, self-directed and confident in your abilities, but eager to learn.
You might have agency experience (which is great) or you just might have demonstrable hustle and loads of “life” experience (even more interesting). Either sounds wonderful to us. Also, your ego doesn’t precede you, you’re able to handle constructive feedback, and you’re game for a contract-to-hire position that happens mostly in our studio.
