Junior Producer Jobs

Who We Are

We are a well-established independent agency and thriving music business, built to help ambitious brands harness the power of culture to solve their biggest challenges. As a unique mix of experts in culture, technology, and storytelling, we are united by a passion to grow brands in ways that advertising alone can never do.

We are an entrepreneurial business – not a traditional "ad agency." That means we value resourcefulness and tenacity just as much as we value creativity and intelligence. In 2022, Translation was awarded the number three spot in Ad Age's Agency A-List and AdWeek's Multicultural Agency of the Year. One year before, Translation was awarded Ad Age's Small Agency of the Year. We're unapologetically ambitious, but we're also a tight-knit crew.
