About Us:
We are a marketing/production agency in the heart of Boulder, working extensively with medical device and other B2B technology clients. We are highly creative and pride ourselves in taking complex ideas and making them simple. Sometimes the projects have a pretty steep learning curve, but that is part of the fun. We enjoy immersing ourselves in new technologies to create thoughtful and informative campaigns, videos, and apps. If you enjoy constantly learning about science and technology, this is the position for you.
When you walk into our downtown, dog-friendly Boulder office you can feel the creative buzz.Our team hangs out at lunch and spends time sharing ideas, so there’s always a flow of information between what’s possible and what’s imagined. We work hard, but there is no shortage of laughter and congeniality around the office. That said, all work and no play make Dick and Jane very dull people, so as a company we stress the importance of a healthy work/life balance. We live in a beautiful state, and we strive to make sure we all have the time to enjoy it.
