Mainland
Base pay range
$45,000.00/yr - $55,000.00/yr
About Mainland Born out of a need to transcend the old ideas of storytelling for the 21st century, Mainland is the one-stop shop for storytelling and amplification. We believe in a full-circle approach to creating impactful stories. Who we are is synonymous with what we do. At our core, Mainland is driven by three guiding principles to create a brand biography: people, storytelling and measurable results. We deliver better relationships, strategy, service, and results while consistently accomplishing and exceeding our clients’ expectations.
We offer public relations, content marketing, social media, graphic design and branding, consumer brand strategy, franchise development consulting, marketing strategy and execution, advertising and experiential marketing services.
We are the agency of choice for the Franchise Brands industry, but that’s not all! We also serve the Hospitality, Travel, Home Services, Real Estate, and Technology industries.
Why work for us Are you looking for a start-up culture with the resources, stability and foundation of an established company with 15 years at the top of its field? What about an entrepreneurial environment balanced with autonomy and structure to spur creativity and new ideas?
Do you want to be challenged daily and given opportunities to grow personally and professionally? Challenging convention is at the core of everything we do. We eliminate the mindset that the status quo is enough through next-level content, creative, distribution and talent. We build teams that continually strive to get better than the day before.
With that said, we invite you to apply even if you don’t meet every single requirement listed below. Our success starts with our people, and we are looking for people who want to grow with us!
