Reporting to: Associate Creative Director of Content

At Think Shift, we believe in building jobs around people. Our talented team of multi-disciplined creators and strategists have one thing in common: the desire to realize their own potential. We help our clients do the same.

As one of the largest ag-focused agencies in the world, we help agriculture and agri-food organizations imagine their future then re-invent themselves accordingly. Our people have a head for logic and a heart for magic, and our clients engage us to help them think strategically and craft the stories that will propel them forward. Through our progressive approach to leadership development, strategic planning, corporate culture, brand development and marketing, we help ag leaders see their true potential and leverage change to bring their traditional brands into the new world.

We’re looking for creative and strategic minds who share our desire to find and realize potential for ourselves and for our clients. Let’s get in touch.
