Why Taoti

Heres the thing about working at Taoti: were the Goldilocks of creative agencies. Big enough to do national high-profile work. Small enough that youre never just a cog in a machine. We have the clout to land top-tier clients but the flexibility to let you carve your own path.

That means your career growth here is driven by youyour initiative your curiosity and the impact you make. We dont do rigid hierarchies and we dont expect you to wait years in line for opportunities. If you want to grow experiment or stretch into new areas youll have the space to do it.

Logistics

This is a full-time W2 in-house role based out of our Washington DC office. A note about what it means to be in-house here: the rule of thumb is that most employees in the DC area are n the office 3.5 days a week (we accrue telework like we do PTO so you can bank it and use it up as you see fit. Hence the .5 days. Its just an accrual figure. We dont actually expect you work half/half days. (Though you can. Some people do!) Certain roles (such as managers or people involved in projects that require more on-site meetings) may be more and that may change from time to time. Ultimately our goal is to embrace a hybrid office culture that balances the needs of the agency with the needs of employees.

me digital and social advertising. We dont
expect you to be a media expert but youll need to be able to speak
tWhats the corporate culture like

Fun but focused as one Taoti put it is a great way to sum up our culture. Were a fun and casual shop. The kind of place where you can wear whatever come and go as you please and have autonomy over your own day for the most part. But we take the work seriously and believe deep in the mission to makemeaningful and measurableimpacts for our clients. All the perks and shenanigans and borderline irreverent tone are fun but to really fit in here you need to beabout the work.

We believe in total transparency and open communication across teams and across ranks. Instead of chain-of-command we want everyone to have and share their own voice. The CEO holds CafeClutchjust so he can hear ideas and feedback directly from the team instead of through the filter of management.
