Digital Media Specialist

Office Location
: Ybor City (Tampa)

Position Type
: Hybrid - 2 days in the office each week.

We're a creative agency in Ybor City, the cigar capital of the world, where roosters roam as free as our bold ideas. In over four decades of business, courage remains our compass to create change. We win awards at national and international scales for our clever creative that's steeped in strategy. We live by our core values, because it's better to be honest than be cool. We take the risk of being interesting, so our clients can bask in the brilliance of meaningful outcomes. If it sounds too good to be true, then why are our tenure rates for both employees and clients three times higher than the industry average?

With that being said, we're seeking a full-time digital media specialist with strong planning experience to contribute to the strategy, execution, and optimization of paid digital campaigns.
