FAQS FOR JOB APPLICANTS
Thank you for your interest in Movers+Shakers! As you’re thinking about your next adventure and considering joining our team, we’re sure you have a lot of questions. So we asked our co-founders and the head of our Client Services team to answer a few FAQs just for you.
HOW DID YOU GET STARTED?
EVAN
“The original idea was, let’s use original music to connect brands to culture and make social content that people actually enjoy”
WHAT MAKES A GOOD FIT FOR THE TEAM?
KRISTIN
“Are you obsessed with what’s next, what’s coming? Understanding that kind of knowledge and understanding those nuances is important”
EVAN
“One of the most important things that we’re looking for is that we want to find people who align with our mission to spread joy.”
GEOFFREY
“Another thing we look for, especially for the creative team, are out of the box thinkers.”
WHAT’S YOUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF THE AGENCY?
GEOFFREY
“A huge part of how we’re building our agency right now is listening to where are those new and emerging platforms and new opportunities for brands to be part of culture”
WHAT MAKES A GOOD FIT FOR THE TEAM?
EVAN
“We’re looking for team members who have big ideas and bold ideas about where brands could go, who want to do really disruptive and innovative work on that cutting edge of culture”
KRISTIN
“The ideas we share, and the camaraderie, connection and the way we work, we’re unique.”
EVAN
“For us joy is about that positive, collaborative, can-do spirit that is really important to us. And it’s definitely my favorite part about being here”
WHAT KEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT?
GEOFFREY
“How to continue to foster that culture and how to continue to care for people while also making amazing content and amazing campaigns.”
DO YOU ONLY DO WORK ON TIKTOK?
EVAN
“What keeps me up at night is just how fast we’re growing and how to continue to grow smart and sustainably.”
Geoffery
“A lot of our work we do with brands is omni-channel where maybe a focal point might be on TikTok but we’re developing campaigns that live across Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube and even Facebook.”
EVAN
“While we always want to be known as the best in the world at TikTok, we don’t ever want to be pigeon-holed as a TikTok agency. That’s why we do so much work outside of TikTok”
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE CREATIVE TEAM?
GEOFFREY
“Any given project will have 1-3, sometimes even 4 creatives working on it. One of the things that’s really exciting, that I hear from people on the team, is that they’re working across a lot of different industries and a lot of different brands at the same time”
WHAT WAS YOUR DECIDING FACTOR TO JOIN THE TEAM?
KRISTIN
“Honestly the hardest part about my job today is not being able to be in person and connect with my clients and my team.”
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AT MOVERS+SHAKERS
Geoffery
“The way I think about approaching diversity is that it’s about experience, it’s also about heritage, ethnicity and racial background, and it’s also about identity. And all of those things are important when we’re working with brands to tell stories that are culturally relevant”
WHAT’S THE HARDEST PART OF YOUR JOB?
KRISTIN
“There was something really exciting they were building. The industry and the work they were doing was about joy and movement and fun. How could you not want to be a part of that?”
