In what ways do your skills, experiences, and career goals align with this role, and why do you believe it’s the right fit for you?*

Provide a brief overview of your experience managing accounts and building client relationships in an agency setting.*

We believe that diversity is essential to our success as an advertising agency. Our strength comes from the unique perspectives, cultures, backgrounds, beliefs, opinions, and passions that each of us brings to the table. By celebrating our differences, we create work that is more innovative, authentic, and impactful. We’d love to hear your thoughts: how would you help us build a more diverse team, and what new perspectives and experiences would you contribute?*

Share a time you transformed a client relationship from transactional to strategic. What did you do, and what was the outcome?*

Agency life often requires balancing multiple clients, competing deadlines, and unexpected changes. Walk us through how you prioritize your work when everything feels urgent. Please share a specific example.*

If we asked your current clients and your internal teammates to each describe your greatest strength—and one area where you still have room to grow—what do you think they would say, and why?*

One of the greatest strengths of social media is its ability to connect with diverse audiences. Our clients rely on us to create content that resonates across cultures, identities, and communities, including BIPOC and LGBTQ+ audiences that have often been overlooked or misrepresented in traditional advertising. If your background, experiences, or perspective help you bring insight and authenticity to creating content for diverse audiences, we’d love to hear about it.*

To help us ensure alignment and transparency, could you share your desired salary range for this position?*

Bonus Question: Which brands do you enjoy following on social media, and why?

Are you able to work legally in the US without sponsorship?*

Will you now or in the future require sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H-1B visa, TN, OPT, etc.)?*
