THINGS HAVE CHANGED...
...is often an over-used industry cliché. But the changes impacting our lives and our clients' businesses are more real and radical than ever before.
How we shop, how we bank, how we work, how we exercise, and how we make choices is rapidly evolving. The values that drive people are fundamentally changing.
When what matters to people changes, society transforms and a new economy takes shape - one of consumers who expect brands to be making a positive impact on the world.
These changes are the catalyst for us to reimagine our business around the new economy customer's needs, and develop a new agency model that will ensure creativity is at the heart of our clients' continued growth, no matter the channel.
WE ARE CHEP, AND WE BELIEVE IN NEW ECONOMY CREATIVITY
Today, brands need to adapt to new channels, technologies, experiences, social goals, environmental needs and operating speeds.
New Economy Creativity harnesses two powerful drivers of change: creativity and technology. It is diverse and data driven; and relentless in finding the most compelling way to hold attention and impact how people think, feel and act.
It's about helping companies reorientate to make long-lasting positive impacts. Its focus is on building future brands that are positive forces, while converting existing demand.
The diversity of the challenges at CHEP make it a fulfilling place to work, and a crash course in every skill you need - creative, strategy, experience, data, media, social, PR, technology, e-commerce, experiential, and research is all under one roof. We let creativity live in every department, and it's all pulled together by our first-class Leadership team.
We're looking for the best and brightest talent who can continue to connect a brand's experience in more creative and innovative ways than anyone else.
