Location: New York, NY

A global integrated communications agency specializing in financial services, technology and energy, with offices in New York, Austin, Washington, D.C., London, Scotland, and Switzerland.

We run strategic programs built around delivering tangible business results, through compelling content, top-notch media relations, critical thought leadership, and stand-out digital media. We're the fastest growing independent agency in the PR Week Top 150. But more importantly, we are passionate about being a business run by our people, for our people. Our success is made possible through our ability to attract and develop the very best talent.

We do everything we can to ensure our employees have the opportunity to grow, contribute and create according to their individual skills. We expect a lot from everyone who works for the agency. But we truly respect each other, try to keep as flat a structure as possible and we have a lot of fun along the way.
