## About Movers+Shakers

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Movers+Shakers is a social-first creative agency on a mission to spread joy, connecting brands to culture for Gen Z and Millennials through disruptive, culturally-native content and campaigns.

- **Headquarters**: Los Angeles, California, USA (with hubs in New York City and London)
- **Founded**: 2016
- **Founders**: Evan Horowitz (CEO) and Geoffrey Goldberg (Chief Creative Officer)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Social-first creative agency / marketing and advertising
- **Target customers**: B2B — brands looking to connect with Gen Z and Millennials (project-based to Global Social AOR)
- **Mission statement**: To spread joy and drive brand love by creating culturally relevant, socially-native content and campaigns.

## Products & Services
- **Social Strategy & Campaigns**: End-to-end social media strategy, creative concepting, and production across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, and Facebook.
- **Influencer Marketing**: Strategic influencer partnerships and creator campaigns that drive cultural relevance.
- **Always-On & Community Management**: Ongoing social content calendars, community engagement, and brand presence management.
- **Emerging Media & Innovation**: Pioneering playbooks at the frontiers of marketing, including new and emerging platforms.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Recognized by Fast Company as one of the Most Innovative Companies in the World; named Ad Age's Best Small Agency for three consecutive years. Ranked the #1 fastest-growing marketing agency in the world.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Member of the Stagwell network (a global network of disruptive marketing agencies). Client partnerships span major brands across sectors.
- **Growth Signals**: Rapid growth trajectory since founding in 2016; expanding from a 2-person collaboration to a globally recognized agency with offices in LA, NYC, and London; consistently winning industry awards and expanding into new service areas.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Founder-led, non-traditional background**: Co-founders with zero prior agency experience (a Broadway performer/director and a Harvard MBA marketer) bring a fresh, disruptive perspective to an industry dominated by TV-centric thinking.
- **Social-first, culturally-native DNA**: Born on social media, the agency's entire approach is built for platforms where Gen Z and Millennials live, rather than adapting traditional TV campaigns.
- **Joy as a core value**: A unique company culture that explicitly prioritizes joy, psychological safety, and celebrating both wins and failures as essential to innovation.
- **Remote-first culture**: Built from the ground up as a remote-first team, with a strong, tight-knit culture that thrives across locations.

## Strategic Focus
- **Omni-channel expansion**: While known for TikTok expertise, the agency is actively building capabilities across Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Facebook, and emerging platforms to avoid being pigeonholed.
- **Continued cultural relevance**: Staying on the cutting edge by listening to where culture is moving and inventing new playbooks for brand engagement.
- **Talent and culture scaling**: Actively focused on "how to continue to foster that culture and how to continue to care for people while also making amazing content and amazing campaigns" as the agency grows.
- **Integrated impact through Stagwell**: Partnering with specialists across the Stagwell network (spanning creative, media, data, experiential, AI) to deliver comprehensive solutions.

## Why Work Here

- **100% covered benefits**: Plans that cover 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums, plus FSA and HSA options.
- **Flexible PTO**: A flexible schedule and PTO policy to recharge when needed, plus dedicated days off for wellness and care, and additional time off during holidays.
- **Joy as the #1 value**: A culture that celebrates both small wins and big failures, with a "hype squad" at every team meeting. No egos, no judgment — just laughter and space to be "joyfully you."
- **Innovation-focused**: The chance to work on "never-been-done-before" campaigns, bring bold ideas to the table, and work with clients who share the same values.
- **Cruelty-free and vegetarian company**: The company is committed to caring about all people and animals.
- **Diversity and inclusion**: Actively seeking team members with diverse experiences, heritage, ethnicity, racial background, and identity, recognizing this is critical for telling culturally relevant stories.
- **Collaborative environment**: Slack conversations about campaigns, trends, pets, food, and pop culture; zoom coffees and in-person hangouts to maintain a connected team.
