Who We Are Looking For

You'll help create integrated campaigns that bring together sports, entertainment, culture, and community in ways that feel authentic to Washington audiences.
VML Seattle is a small, tight-knit team with the backing and resources of a global creative network. We believe great work comes from living a full life outside the office.

• Partner closely with art directors, designers, producers, social teams, and clients to bring ideas to life across every touchpoint.

• Collaborate throughout production, with opportunities to work directly on photo shoots, video productions, content creation, and campaign launches.

• Contribute to the ongoing evolution of the Lottery brand voice, ensuring consistency while continually finding fresh and unexpected ways to connect with audiences.

• Help identify cultural trends, audience behaviors, and emerging opportunities that can inspire breakthrough creative work.
