Whether or not you want to work at Draft… debatable. However, HighJive nicely pointed out to us that the agency regularly posts its open positions on Craigslist. Like this one: Draftfcb looking for Multicultural Strateig (sic) Planning Director
That’s right. That type-o is really there. In any case, here’s the gist: “We want a person who can artfully lead a team to find the smartest story that answers the assignment. We want a person who is always reshaping the assignment, improving the output, working on the next thing. This person’s understanding of multicultural marketing will allow our clients to make meaningful connections with consumers.”
