Associate Media Director

BVK

BVK is a Top 25 independent marketing and advertising agency headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

When did we start trading in passions for paychecks?

And more importantly, when did we start believing we had to choose one over the other? After all, if you're spending all day, every day doing something, shouldn't it be something that does both? We think so. And at BVK, that's exactly what you'll find. Our mission is to create category-changing ideas for brands that create life-changing experiences. So yes, you'll be a part of a team that creates integrated campaigns for clients, but you'll get way more than just an employee email address and direct deposits. You'll get treated like a person. A complete person. Which is why BVK offers a wellness program with a slew of ways to find balance in life and at work. Plus, BVK partners with organizations like the United Way to give everyone an opportunity to serve their community. In short, we don't think marketing and changing the world are mutually exclusive. Agree? Then let's talk.
