Co:collective is a Storydoing ™ collective. We invent and reinvent brands, businesses and products. We’re a team of strategic, social, techy, creative thinkers and doers who have developed a new, cross-discipline collaboration model to help companies be successful in today’s world.
Co: is looking for a writer/thinker/doer who is interested in trying something new. In our dreams, you are self-starting, speedy, scrappy when needed, and super smart. You will be a leader, but also a practitioner here. You’ve got an entrepreneurial spirit and are looking to embark on this journey of redefining the industry with us.
Since we are a small team, you will work closely with all disciplines within co as well as outside experts we call co-conspirators. We are very into collaboration, hence the name “co”. That’s why we never label one group as a “creative.” Everyone we hire and work with is that.
You’ll be expected to help lead teams (internal as well as external partners) and create presentations and new work for clients. You’ll be working across multiple brands since most of our work is project based. You’ll learn about business from every side and may even help to create a new one.
On any given day you could be writing the story of a company, conceiving of a technology innovation, naming a new product, writing alongside other co-conspirator partners, creating a messaging kit for a brand’s social media experience in 140 characters and beyond, or simply crafting a funny all agency email. However on almost all given days, you won’t be on a tv shoot.
A week in your role will never be predictable, which, if you’re the person we’re looking for, is exactly what you’re looking for.
Desired Qualifications:
- BA in English or Journalism
- At least 5 years experience or more writing at a creative studio, brand or agency of some sort
- Portfolio of original and breakthrough ideas and work across multiple categories, and passion projects of your own
- Great presentation skills
- Strong strategic thinking in the work and can put that into words
- Likes to work collaboratively
- Someone we’d want to have Thanksgiving dinner with

Co: is looking for an alchemist. One who uses code, pixels and circuits (rather than sugar and spice or snails and puppy dog tails) to create golden experiences for people and golden growth for our clients. Someone who is happy defining how technology can affect the core business, the culture as well as the actual products and services we help bring to life.

Who we are looking for:
You think in systems. You have as many projects that you have built for yourself as for clients. You can impress people at parties with how many ‘languages’ you know. You love to take really complex technologies and concepts and translate them into simple language for everyone to understand and build upon. You really, really, really love to work with other people. You know creating big impactful things requires time and different approaches so you are happy rolling up your sleeves in both powerpoint and an IDE.
The types of things you will be doing:
In your role you will be looking at the macro trends in technology alongside the things that are bubbling up on the periphery and finding new ways that those can be leveraged to create new experiences and businesses.
You will be strategically advising clients on how technology can be valuable and grow their business and create new opportunities to connect with customers.
You will be creating technology architectures which will form
the basis of change.
You will be defining new experiences which will make people’s lives better, and that they will truly enjoy using.

You will be constantly playing with code and bringing ideas to life in tangible forms with prototypes and experiments.
You will be inventing new technologies which will feed back into
this cycle.

Co:collective is a growth partner. We invent and reinvent brands and businesses. We’re a team of strategic, social, techy, creative thinkers and doers who have developed a new, cross-discipline collaboration model to help companies be successful in today’s world.
At the core of the co: model is the co:llaborator, ensuring that collaboration is happening smoothly. Co:llaborators work with a multi-discipline pod that is comprised of leads from strategy, technology, content, community and additional outside experts, known as co:conspirators. (We don’t label anyone as a creative, since that’s what we’re all expected to be).
The co:llaborator is a client manager, project director and the ultimate
orchestrator of the universe, if you ask us. So, we’re looking for amazing people that have a business, strategic, and a get-‘er-done mindset to create the perfect balance of external poise and trust when working with clients, as well as the rigor to keep projects on track with internal pods and co:conspirators.
This is more than just a fancy name for an account person, however, you could have been an account person in another life. Maybe you were an account person who thought you’d make a good producer. Or maybe you’ve been in a few different roles in your life—like a program director or a project manager or even a strategist. We like smart mutts.
Integral professional attributes for being a successful co:llaborator at co: are dedication, excellent negotiating skills (both fiscally and personality), thriving when faced with new challenges, adaptability to change throughout a process, forward-thinking understanding of business and technology, extremely proactive and organized strategic problem solving, and the ability to embrace the honey badger (figuratively and literally).
We’re a small place, so we all wear a lot of hats. Here are some job functions you’ll be expected to do, so ideally you have experience doing a bunch of them:
- Running a project from start to finish, starting with strategy
through production and launch
- Proposal writing or running the process for proposals
- Creating statements of work
- Budget creation, tracking, management and reporting
- Assessing the overall needs for a project from understanding client needs
from both a strategic and operational standpoint, including desired deadlines
and expectations and creating a plan to make it happen
- Working directly with internal and external teams including
clients, strategy, creative, technology and production
- Anticipating and managing resourcing needs (freelancers, partners)
- Prioritizing and managing scheduling for both internal and external
client reviews and meetings
- Gaining approvals from clients
- Keeping internal teams and external partners up to date on
projects by creating and distributing status reports, holding
status meetings as necessary
- Preparing and organizing client presentations including all
resourcing and production needs for given meetings
- Getting used to other leaders in the pod introducing you as the
Chief Officer of Getting Shit Done
