Job Description
We are the Feeling First agency. We believe in the power of emotion to change brands and businesses, including our own. We’re looking for change-makers who can play a key part in the next chapter of adam&eveDDB - driving the agency forward with fresh thinking, innovative ideas, a lot of heart, and incredible energy.
The Role in Brief
