Company Description
About 360i – A Decade of Digital Marketing Innovation
We’re a next generation digital agency rooted in innovation and drive. We don’t walk; we run. We don’t follow; we lead. We dream, and then we do. Our ideas are big, but our results are bigger. Bigger still is our collective pursuit of positive change – the innovations that will move our industry forward in new and exciting directions.
We’re continuing to evolve our marketing capabilities, having gone from specialty agency to digital AOR in just 5 years. We have an incredible track record of selling in and executing the ideas we pitch. And we’ve more than doubled in size over the last 2 years while doing work for world-class brands like Coke, Oreo and other Kraft Foods brands, Smirnoff, Guinness, Fisher-Price, NBC Universal and jcpenney.
The digital world changes fast – and our employees are just as dynamic. Our backgrounds and strengths are diverse, yet we’re all fueled by an innate curiosity that inspires us to blaze new trails and a shared belief in the power of the web to forge deeper relationships between brands and consumers.
We have the intimacy, drive and opportunities of a boutique agency, but with big company benefits, support, resources and vision.
Ad Age named us an “A-List” agency AND a “Best Place to Work” and Fast Company’s dubbed us one of 2011’s World’s Most Innovative Companies’.
If you’re sharp, creative and forward-thinking – and if complacency isn’t in your vocabulary – this can be a perfect place for you.
The possibilities are endless.
