Role Overview:

We are seeking a resourceful and proactive individual for our open Project Manager position to provide on-boarding and follow up services for clients. This person will have a self-starter attitude, capable of managing their own schedule and leading their own tasks. This person does not need to be assigned day by day instructions, but rather has an understanding of what steps need to be taken to help the company reach their goals. This person has a very strong follow-through score in Kolbe and is very goal-oriented. This person is a team-player with great rapport among previous colleagues and employers.

The Founder:

My name is Marc, I am the owner of Wildstory (www.wildstory.com) - a brand storytelling and content agency that helps purpose driven brands find and develop their identity so they may reach more customers.

Most of my clients are looking for someone who can blend the magical with the logical and discover what makes them special. I let them know that we are in the business of developing the story their customers tell themselves when using their product or service. We want to find those people who will become crazy fans -- irrational loyalty -- to the point they will tattoo your brand’s logo on their body!

We specialize in brand strategy, verbal identity, visual identity, experiential brand, and content (especially video!). As a rule our clients don’t know where to start or how to get this done. This is where we come in.
