The Company Showpony is an independent agency network with offices in 3 States. Awarded for creativity and effectiveness, Showpony is ranked among the nation’s best agencies by Campaign Brief.

And right now, we’re on the hunt for our next true believer… The Role This is a dual role and will ideally suit someone who understands how a creative team works within an agency environment and with the capability of thinking ’big picture’ across multiple offices and teams.
