What PHENOMENON employees are saying...
-
Imagine a workplace where every voice was important, and every idea was shared across an ecosystem of smart, passionate, like-minded people EQUALLY. Imagine that when put into a team (we call them "pods") you play a designated role, but you collaborate EQUALLY in every part of the process. Imagine a flat organization where you're encouraged to challenge pod leaders, throw tantrums if you don't get your way, and where you're treated like family.
That's what we're building over here at PHENOMENON.

Thoughtful design. Big ideas. The ability to fail with wild abandon, knowing for sure you'll be supported if you do. Interesting, complex, beautiful creative solutions for big, bold, beautiful brands. A client roster worthy of a firm 50 times our size. A company that fires clients who aren't serious about ideation and about passionate change.
This is what PHENOMENON is.

If you're looking for a break from big agency politics but don't want to leave big agency work and clients behind, this is the place. I love the sheer intelligence that surrounds me everyday and the opportunities I get to work with people I deeply respect. An amazing group of people getting amazing work done that is true to the businesses and brands we pledge to grow.

Phenomenon is not like any agency I've ever worked in. At all. No bureaucracy, no tiers of people to get through. Just lots of collaboration, spontaneity, brainstorming, opportunities, a variety of interesting clients, and ideas that make people and brands better. Plus, there's a relaxed attitude to the place that I adore. I could walk into the owners' offices and tell them about a rash I have, and they'd listen. Not that I have a rash or anything.

Think of a creative culture influenced by top-tier thought leaders from around the globe. Add talent and passion tightly woven into a tapestry of innovative ideas. Wrap all of it around big brands and highly curated clients. The result is pure magic – genius that only emerges when you work with the best damn brains in the business.
PHENOMENON is a dream team.

"The thing I love most about PHENOMENON is the people. You won't find a more collaborative, ego-less group of thinkers. Everyone has a unique background and an equally strong voice. Opinions and ideas are not only encouraged but required. They challenge you to be an innovative thinker and a team player. You get out what you put in at PHENOMENON. They offer the opportunity to be as creative and strategic as you want to be, no matter what your position is."

"If I were to put a single word description, I wouldn't be able to. Is it the close-knit people/talent? YES. Is it the diversity in the type of work? YES. Is it the no politics/ego? YES. Is it being able to be involved with the creative process from beginning to end? Is it a no-pitch policy that focuses on doing the best for the client instead of responding to a request from a 'potential' client only to potentially see your great ideas go by the way-side? Those are the things that describe PHENOMENON. Our team thinks collaboratively and everyone has a voice, regardless of your role. It's these ideas that drive the amazing concepts that have come out from the PHENOMENON team.
One side note: Not having to slog through doing time sheets on a system that is constantly broken doesn't hurt either."

In school, I was constantly forewarned that no one person actually enjoys their job. I now realize the believers of that statement have obviously never worked at Phenomenon. It’s almost impossible to describe the magic that happens here. We are fun, yet crazy productive. Intelligent, but unpretentious. All opinions are welcomed and debates are always encouraged. And that’s just our internal team.
Working at Phenomenon offers the opportunity to do groundbreaking strategic and creative work for world-renowned clients. The potential for growth and learning is endless and every voice counts.
This is anything but your typical, money-hungry, factory-like agency you unfortunately find everywhere nowadays. Each client is SELECTED (not won) based on the work potential and their passion for success and change. What does this mean for us that work here? It’s simple - we get to love who we work with and what we do each day.
