We’re here to create better. 

Better — experiences, stories, relationships, worlds. 

Everydamnday.

Because if we aren’t creating better work, or creating a better place to work—then why create at all?

We seek adaptable, hands-on professionals to integrate seamlessly into our project teams. While specific duties will vary by role and department (Production, Creative, Strategy, Client Experience), all XDA freelancers are expected to meet the following standards.

CAPTAIN and CO-PILOT MENTALITY!

You take initiative, steer the project when needed, and flag any issues before they have a chance to become an issue. You manage your workload and fluidly become a trusted member of the team.

• Develop, track, and rigorously manage all role-specific deliverables. This includes the timely communication of any potential issues or roadblocks that may challenge expectations.

• Possess strong problem-solving capabilities, immediately identifying issues and pivoting to solutions to ensure tasks and deliverables are brought to life in a timely manner.

• Demonstrate flexibility by embracing new methods, softwares, processes and environments, serving as an adaptable, self-starting partner who utilizes collaborative technologies efficiently and effectively.

YOUR SUPERPOWERS!

Communication and collaboration— you keep the information flowing, ensuring every part of your workload is in sync with your team and that you’re all working towards a shared goal.

• Exhibit a team-first attitude by collaborating closely with our core teams (Client Experience, Creative, Production, and Strategy) to ensure projects meet client goals, creative demands, and budget scope.

• Maintain exceptional communication skills to ensure a healthy dynamic throughout the project life-cycle, including proactively communicating concerns and solutions to relevant stakeholders.

THE NON-NEGOTIABLES

We're looking for folks who thrive in the world of experiential marketing and can come to XDA ready to jump in.

• Candidates must be aware of and comfortable with the physicality of the job. Availability to travel is required.

• While we staff varying levels of experience across projects, a strong background in experiential, activations, and live events is preferred.  Experience in fabrication, set design, expo, and/or retail is highly valued.

• We believe shifting culture starts right in our backyard— join us in championing our XDA values: 

  • Be Clear (in comms and planning)

  • Be Kind (in collaboration with your team and beyond)

  • Be Bold (in execution and innovation)

  • Be Real (in relationships and interactions)
