How do you qual­i­fy an idea with life? Well, for this Boul­der Col­orado based Ad Age Small Agency of the Year there are some tan­gi­ble lit­mus tests; does the idea evoke emo­tion? Does it cre­ate affin­i­ty and ulti­mate­ly change behav­ior? If it does­n’t then it’s back to the draw­ing board. Ulti­mate­ly we val­ue and strive to cre­ate ideas that make a real dif­fer­ence for brands, busi­ness­es and the world around us.

At Ster­ling Rice Group (SRG), as the Dig­i­tal Media Spe­cial­ist, you will have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to work with some of the world’s lead­ing brands includ­ing Pep­si, Heinz, Nes­tle, Star­bucks, Kellogg’s, Kashi, Taco Bell and many more.

The impact of SRG’s work is seen and felt around the world every day: on the bot­tom line, at share­hold­er meet­ings, in late-night talk show mono­logues, and uni­ver­si­ty lec­ture halls. It’s the kind of work that gets noticed, inspires action, and cre­ates impact.

But you need to be great at online media plan­ning and buy­ing and have a work­ing knowl­edge of basic “media math” and nego­ti­a­tion tools, includ­ing but not lim­it­ed to CPM/CPA/CPC mod­el­ing, ROI fore­cast­ing, cost nego­ti­a­tion, and budgeting.

The Dig­i­tal world should be a nat­ur­al place where you have achieved suc­cess for your employer’s prod­ucts using research tools includ­ing @Plan, Com­Score, Google AdPlan­ner and Google Ana­lyt­ics and you’re able to ana­lyze the data at a sophis­ti­cat­ed level.

Who are the Ster­ling Rice People?

“We are innate­ly col­lab­o­ra­tive indi­vid­u­al­ists. Many of us have been client-side, brand exec­u­tives at some of the coun­try’s best-known com­pa­nies, oth­ers came to us from big agen­cies and con­sult­ing icons. We recruit for excep­tion­al tal­ent and pedi­gree, but we’re infat­u­at­ed with unique skills on the periph­ery. When chefs, bee­keep­ers, welders and graph­ic nov­el­ists col­lide, uncon­ven­tion­al think­ing results. It’s not just one or two indi­vid­u­als, it’s all of us work­ing togeth­er in rad­i­cal­ly dif­fer­ent ways to build brands and a work expe­ri­ence that’s our own.”
