DARLING

Darling is a small but mighty creative shop with roots in NYC, Amsterdam, Chicago, Tel Aviv and recently Shanghai. We don’t believe in hierarchy. Everyone has a voice, and all voices are heard at Darling. Brainstorms can be full of strategists, designers, account people and office managers - along with the usual mix of creatives and copywriters. We also believe in trusting our employees and giving them the freedom to grow, ideate and put their hand up for projects they know they can make successful. They are thrown into the deep and have often direct client contact to make faster decisions. We are hybrid or remote working at the moment, and will stay that way in the future. We do have our own crash pad in Manhattan and Greenport.
