Job Description (if URL to posting not available). Please include instructions for how to apply.: Agency Archivist
It all started in 1873, when Daniel Lord opened an office in Chicago to sell advertising space. Today, FCB now boasts a fully integrated offering, with over 120 offices in more than 80 countries, employing roughly 8,000 people. Over a century into this epic story called FCB, we believe the best part is Never Finished.
The part that always asks what can we do better. And always wonders what’s next. What’s out there. What’s waiting to be discovered. And it’s not just the story of a brand or an idea. It’s the story of all of us. Always moving forward. Always looking back. Always a work in progress.
Are you looking to be a part of this story? If so, we are looking to have an Agency Archivist join our team to prep materials that will eventually be sent to the Smithsonian.
