1. Stick and Move – Senior Account Person, Philadelphia
We recently penned a flattering piece about Stick and Move, so we’re pleased to see the shop has a job opening.
Stick and Move is an ad agency that believes the strongest way to build a brand is to connect with people through conversation. We call it Conversationality. We partner with clients like Leatherman, Yakima Products, TradeKing, VitaminWater, adidas and many more, and our work spans from traditional (TV, print, radio, web advertising) to new media (viral, social networking, widgets) to guerrilla and beyond.
We are currently looking for a mid to senior Account person to focus on new business development. Someone hungry to work in a highly creative, informal environment yet skillfully and professionally handle high-stakes client work. A fun, competent, intellectually curious person interested in helping build our agency, from our bottom line to our culture to our Thursday nights bowling team. New business experience is necessary and 8+ years industry experience is preferable. Passion, an open mind and a drive for innovation are a must.

They will also have internal communications responsibilities (memos, events, intranet site content, as well as external communications (develop communication plans, write press releases, research, dissemination of news, uncover media opportunities, build relationships, etc.
The opening line in the “about our company section” is: “We stand behind our philosophy that great ideas are nothing without great execution and great follow-up.” Hunh. That’s your philosophy? Isn’t that everyone’s philosophy and do you really need to stand behind that one? Shouldn’t that just be a given?
