That's why Momentum Worldwide helps brands imagine, create, curate and manage their Total Brand Experience. Our job is to create meaning and connections for our clients and their brands. And in today’s world, where people demand corporate transparency and increased sustainability, this approach-redefining all the ways people experience a brand in action-is more important than ever. We integrate sponsorship, shopper, design, technology, social, promotions, PR, digital, entertainment and more in a total brand experience for the modern consumer. Quite simply, our job is to help brands flourish – and we do this as one global agency (within the IPG family of agencies) with 30 offices on five continents and more than 1,300 amazingly talented people—all of us working together, eager to invent, challenge the norm and set the world on fire. To make that possible, we hire people who are ravenous for ingenuity and impatient with the status quo. The biggest asset we have is our talent, and we take that seriously. And it helps that our company works with some incredible brands such as American Express, Coca-Cola, Mondelez, Microsoft, Walmart and William Grant & Sons to name a few. Join us! You could be a member of a growing team of people who love to imagine, concept, create, sculpt, sing, emote and dream in the interests of our clients and communities. We think it’s a special kind of calling. You should answer.
