People interested in creating ideas that make a difference to people. No silos, no holding company duplicative structures, only people that have ideas and a desire to make them happen. As a result of building a new company each day, we are a fast-moving entrepreneurial environment with offices in Milwaukee and Chicago that is always on the lookout for top people who enjoy being given responsibility, thrive on generating new ideas and relish being thrown into the deep end. Creative problem solvers, who create solutions for client problems versus selling solutions as an agent for media companies. Given the number of solutions available today, this is hard work, and it takes a special type of 'restless' person to embrace the challenge of venturing into the creative unknown. You know if that is you. We are fortunate to have great clients. We have a core of talented, yet nice people. We are independent which means we can adjust to the evolving communications landscape versus defending the status quo. Our recent growth has been driven by the talents of our people. Our continued growth will depend on our ability to attract new people that bring additional skills to the table. To learn more about us, www.jacobsonrost.com.
