Join a Team That's Raising the Bar

At Augurian, we believe work should be meaningful, fun, and growth-oriented. We're a Minneapolis-based digital marketing agency on a mission to help small-but-mighty marketing teams win with clarity and confidence. Our culture is built on trust, transparency, and shared success — and we live our values every day:

• Live Honest – Be authentic and accountable
• Work Smarter, Live Better – Thrive in and outside of work
• Build Innovation – Pitch it, test it, prove it, use it
• Honor Teamwork – Goodbye silos, hello high-fives
• Have Fun – Enjoy the journey
• Cultivate Growth – Grow yourself and others
• Expect Respect – You give it, you get it
• Drive Success – In it to win it, one client at a time
  

Our hybrid model means we come together in person one day a week (Wednesdays) to collaborate, connect, and innovate — and work remotely the rest of the time. It's the best of both worlds.
