🚨 Notice 🚨

Movers+Shakers is amongst one of the many companies being used in a recruiting scam. We deeply regret any inconvenience caused to you by this fraudulent activity and want to assure you that our legitimate recruiters will only contact you through official moversshakers.co email addresses.

We'd never offer a role to someone without having several video interviews with the team. Furthermore, it is important to note that our recruiters will never request any monetary transactions from you.

Want to help grow the #1 "Fastest-Growing Agency"? Want to join a company whose brand is so strong that we get unsolicited clients reaching out every day? Want to help define the future of social media marketing?

Movers+Shakers is a new kind of agency built for the era of lo-fi, authentic social. We act as a creative AOR, influencer agency, and production house -- streamlined to drive cultural relevance with Gen Z and Millennials.

Brands like e.l.f., Netflix, Dove, Red Bull, and Tinder rely on Movers+Shakers to win on social and beyond. We've gotten our clients over 250 billion views on social -- from major brand moments to viral daily content.

The hype doesn't stop with our clients' brands. Fast Company named Movers+Shakers one of the "Most Innovative Companies" in the world, and AdAge named us a "Small Agency of the Year" (three years in a row). Adweek called us, "the best agency in the world at creating campaigns on TikTok."

We're really proud of our work, and we're even more proud of our culture. In their first week, new employees inevitably comment on how positive and supportive our workplace is. A month in, they're noting how little ego there is, and how departments collaborate surprisingly deeply. We only work with brands that share our commitment to spreading joy, and we have parted ways with client teams that don't treat our team with respect.
