WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS JOB

There’s never been an opportunity to work with sports and entertainment quite like this one. You’ll innovate and execute large-scale, fully integrated experiences for one of the most well-known brands in the country. You will work with partners from every discipline in advertising to create memories that will live in the world of “fandom” forever and ever. You will beat the drum of the American heartbeat and take pride in creating unprecedented access and experience to consumers.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE DOING IT AT MOMENTUM

Because the idea that a brand’s action is more important than its rhetoric is the key to our entire approach. It is all about the experience and we can—hands down, bar-none—create that better than anyone else. That’s not jargon or ego—it’s truth. Experience creates the connections that lead to loyalty, advocacy and sales. So we imagine and create those things here, in what we call the total brand experience. And how we do it is with genius, dedication, strategic thinking and working together as one fearless, handsome troop. Before you get any ideas, it’s important you know we’re serious about taking care of each other here. So think on that. We work too closely not to have fun together. We work too smart not to make the world better. And we work too well not to continually push for more. Think on all that, too.
