Our Culture
Have a voice in shaping your career, molding the future of our firm, and building an unfair advantage for yourself and clients.
We’re building a different kind of agency. One with an entrepreneurial spirit that leverages data, insights and diversity to drive innovative thinking that helps brands outperform against their competition. We look for people who think differently. People who care less about politics or personal glory, and more about ideas, learning and collective results. Those who thrive on ambiguity, architecting something new, and breaking through old ways to forge new paths. It’s a place you can have a voice regardless of your level. We invite you to join us and “Build Yours.”
“Everyone here is tremendously driven and passionate about making a difference. We can be wacky, intensely focused when needed, but always know how to have a great party.”
“My second day with W2O (straight out of college), I sat in on a meeting with a Fortune 15 tech company. I eventually became a day-to-day account manager for them and got to lead a major stakeholder meeting. The exposure I’ve gotten is incredible.”
“Coming to W2O Group eight years ago was the best career move I’ve made! I work with the smartest, most strategic, genuine people in the business and for clients who are paving the way for a better tomorrow.”
Commitment to Diversity
We are stronger with a wider range of opinions, strengths, and backgrounds to achieve our goals. We foster an environment that embraces diversity by designing initiatives and strategies that attract and develop the most talented individuals.
A case in point: We partnered with The LAGRANT Foundation to form the “Future Leaders in Healthcare Fellowship,” which targets ethnic minorities pursuing careers in healthcare communications. This first-of-its-kind program gives fellows a paid opportunity in one of our offices to receive first-hand experience in the industry.
Syracuse University partnership.
