We are committed to fostering a supportive and rewarding environment for our team members. We believe in investing in your well-being and future:

• Competitive Compensation: Starting salary of $50,000
• Comprehensive Healthcare: After 60 days, benefit from individual healthcare with Farfetched Studios covering 90% of the cost (a lot of employers don't do this, but just let you buy into their group plan at a perceived low rate for coverage).
• Wellness Stipends: Receive a monthly stipend of $20 per pay period (totaling $480 annually) for eyecare and dental insurance after 60 days. We do not directly provide eyecare and dental.

• Robust Retirement Plan: After one year of dedicated service, you'll be eligible to join our 401k program that includes a 4% match. The first 3% is matched 1:1, and the next 2% is matched at 2:1. Full details will be provided by the plan provider as we get closer to that date (this is one aspect I love about the company).
• Enjoy 10 days of paid time off (PTO) that accrues (cannot be used during the first 90 days). After your first year, benefit from an additional 4 days (1 per quarter) of remote work flexibility

This is a unique chance to join a forward-thinking marketing agency where your skills will be valued, and your career trajectory will accelerate (If you put in the time and effort, we will provide you with the opportunity). If you are ready to seize a significant opportunity and contribute to our success, and are located in the St. Louis, Missouri area, we encourage you to apply.

Here is the hitch - send a note with your resume in order to ACTUALLY be considered for the position. We get a lot of the "quick apply" applicants from Linkedin and half the time they are in some part of the country where a commute is impossible (Come on Abe, your really not going to commute from California each day).
