Summary:
About you:
You’re a writer’s writer. You read books. You love words. You care about punctuation and the
rhythm and feel it gives a sentence, and you appreciated the em dash long before AI made
people second guess themselves for using one.
When it comes to copy, you’re equal parts strategist and stylist. You care deeply about what the
copy says and obsess over saying it in the most compelling way possible.
You’re curious, with an award-winning attitude. No matter how long you’ve been doing this,
you’re still eager to learn as much as you can from everyone you meet.
You love collaborating with smart, hardworking people who love the craft and hold themselves
to the highest standards of excellence.
Speaking of people, you care a lot about bringing humanity into everything you do.
You are genuinely interested in all kinds of businesses and want to understand how they
operate.
You know the difference between an idea and an execution.
You’re passionate about building great brands and creating the advertising that powers their
growth.
You have a lot of range. If you were an actor, you wouldn’t be the kind that plays the same role
every time. No, not you—you’d adapt, you’d adjust, and you’d bring something new to every
performance.
If this sounds like you, we want to hop on a Zoom as soon as possible.

What We Do
VSA is a hybrid brand strategy and design agency. We partner with business, strategic and creative leaders, combining our strategic consulting with design-driven experiences to solve business problems and realize the future of a brand. As a hybrid agency, we blend consumer insights and data with the craft of design to activate the most meaningful, motivating and measurable experiences.
For VSA employees as well as those we recruit, we’ve adopted a long-term hybrid model that allows people to define their way of working in the way they want. This means that VSAers can work from anywhere in the United States—home, office or any place in between. Working from anywhere gives VSAers the option to find time to work alone, join others for office-based collaboration, or meet up as needed for small-group moments and client meetings. We’re also hiring with geographic “neutrality”—pursuing the best talent wherever it may live. We think having a workplace option matters most these days: Employees benefit from human interaction and the need for a change in scenery from time to time. And also, VSA benefits from a diversity of experiences and perspectives that come from seeing and participating in the larger world. All of which is why we see our offices in Chicago, New York and San Francisco as a flexible, accessible network of workspace hubs for employees to use as needed for work and interaction with colleagues.
