The PITCH

Were lucky that everyone within our walls thinks creatively, shares a passion for building communities, and understands the world of both big campaigns and social micro-content. Our ACDs here serve a slightly different (and more senior) role than more traditional digital creative types, but thankfully well never use the term digital ninja.

Are you based in Delhi/ NCR Geeking the creative world in the India market for 7+ years now Oh well, we could be meant to be --

Heres where you come in.

I use my creative craft, understanding of platforms and grasp of culture to solve marketing problems for a variety of brands. I have the most challenging role in the creative department as my duties are split between both doing the work as well as helping manage some of the work. I spend roughly 80% of my time working on solving briefs and 20% of my time managing projects under the direction of my CD. I dont have an assigned partner so I often work alone. Occasionally, Ill work with another creative in the pod. And sometimes Ill partner with the CD. While other members of the pod do not technically report to me, its expected that I help mentor them when possible.

TL;DR - I have the most challenging role in the creative department. I fulfill the duties of an AD or CW but also help manage projects under my CDs discretion. #thenavysealsofcreative

What You Should Know About VaynerMedia

Think lab and not agency. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. Were willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. Its fun

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We cant wait to meet you.
