Job Description
**WHY YOULL LOVE THIS JOB**
We believe that what a brand does is more important than what it sayswe want you to help brands do amazing, unprecedented, meaningful things, creating experiences that people never forget.
**WHY YOULL LOVE DOING IT AT MOMENTUM**
Because the idea that a brands action is more important than its rhetoric is the key to our entire approach. It is all about the experience and we canhands down, bar-nonecreate that better than anyone else. Thats not jargon or egoits truth. Experience creates the connections that lead to loyalty, advocacy and sales. So we imagine and create those things here, in what we call the total brand experience, from one-of-a-kind brand experiences and events, to all the physical and virtual commerce touchpoints where a purchase can occur. And how we do it is with genius, dedication, strategic agility, and working together as one fearless, handsome troop. Before you get any ideas, its important you know were serious about taking care of each other here. So think on that. We work too closely not to have fun together. We work too smart not to make the world better. And we work too well not to continually push for more. Think on all that, too.
