Mindshare Careers

Description

Our Company

Original Thinkers change the world.  Mindshare changed the industry when it became the first global media agency, launched in 1997. We took a chance and launched in Asia as opposed to the UK or US; and we were the first start-up WPP ever invested in. Original Thinking is in our DNA. 

We are on a tireless mission to bring accountability to all aspects of marketing. To develop bold campaigns that both reflect and shape culture. To play with and develop new technology, making enormous investments toward the right solutions. To inspire each other, our clients, media owners and even our competitors to be audacious and never stop pushing our industry forward.
