We’re always on the lookout for superior talent.
Whether you’re well-schooled in the art of marketing or an outsider looking for a creative outlet, we’ve got a place for the people with a passion for creating great ideas.
If you think you can help us help clients and you’re better than good at what you do, show us how not-typical you are and you might get a shot.
Check out our current opportunities below. If you don’t see a position that applies to you, take a chance and send in your resume. We’re always looking to talk to cool people capable of great things.
First, a little about us: We’re not your typical agency. We have fun, but we’re serious about our work. We’re smart, but also a little crazy.
Over the past 30 years, we’ve continuously grown services and staff. We have some great clients to thank for that. But, it really all comes down to the team that develops and executes big ideas.
We look for talent from both in- and outside the marketing industry to grow along with the agency. We’ve been known to have account executives who craft great content and traditional designers who lend impressive visions to web production.
Now let’s talk about you: We hire people, not positions. So if you’re up for the challenge, then we’re willing to challenge you. The only true job requirement is creativity. Inventive minds capable of adaptation to virtually any marketing tasks are welcome.
Where We Work
Syracuse is known for basketball and snow. We get it. We love and hate those things, respectively, but we also celebrate the spirit of our vibrant and historic city that inspires us every day (even the snowy ones).
Project Manager
Our Traffic Manager keeps our busy agency humming with next-level organization and planning skills. As the name implies, this is a job that monitors all the ins and outs of our day-to-day project management.
Armed with Asana workflow software, the Traffic Manager gets projects into creative production and sees them through. There are lots of steps along the way, including regular communication with account executives and the creative team to ensure everything stays on time and budget.
Things move fast around here, so the Traffic Manager has to review workflow daily and adapt priority as necessary. This teammate also works with the media to get specifications or negotiate extensions on occasion.
Send a resume on over to careers@abcideabased.com if you’re down with this.
Account Manager
The title is account manager, but the position is about account service. And account service means more than just forwarding emails from the client to the creative team. ABC AMs do more than pass along information, they build relationships and analyze client communications to produce effective strategy and outstanding creative.
ABC, after all, is a creative-first agency and we hire accordingly. We’re looking for experienced professionals who are exceptionally organized and highly motivated to create high-level plans that move brands forward.
We’re constantly growing in team and skill, so there’s plenty of room to stretch your creative capabilities in our family-like setting. You’ll be moving physically as well. Our account executives actually get up from their desks and out of the office regularly to build those relationships essential to our success as an agency.
If you accept this challenge, pass along your resume and an explanation of your interest in ABC to careers@abcideabased.com.
Web Developer
ABC is looking for a highly motivated, detail-oriented go-getter who thinks outside of the box and knows how to maximize … blah, blah, blah. Look, if you know how to build flawlessly functional, beautifully designed and generally kickass websites, we’d really like you to work here. We’re looking for someone who doesn’t use any of the aforementioned resume clichés and just knows how to get the job done.
What’s the job? Our web developers are first and foremost a member of the creative team, lending ideas and digital expertise to achieve client goals. Our web guys are go-tos not just for all the technical stuff that no one else understands, but also work with our design team to creative designs that wow clients and win awards.
Candidates must be fully capable of managing our client’s sites and translating code into stimulating visuals that capture the concepts we come up with. From concept to sitemap to layout and delivery, you should also be a contributor to those concepts and have an impressive sense of design.
Send your best work and a little bit about yourself to careers@abcideabased.com and we’ll get back to you if we like what we see.
Content Developer
We’ve got a rare opening for a coveted spot on the content team that blends brand journalism, blogging, web and ad copywriting all in one kickass position. We’re looking for someone who does it all to join the creative family that is ABC.
Went to school for journalism or communications? Cool. Worked in the industry for while? Dope. Outsider looking to get into the marketing field? We want you too.
We’re basically looking for a rock star ready for a challenge – someone infinitely creative with a well-trained brain. You’ll be expected to generate ideas and execute content while exercising your solid knowledge of AP Style and impeccable proofing abilities.
Sound good? Send in your resume and a handful of relevant samples to careers@abcideabased.com.
Interested In An Internship?
ABC selects interns throughout the year to learn from our team and gain real agency experience. Internships are available in Account Service, Design, Interactive, PR and Social Media.

And now for something completely different …
Every so often, we pause, reflect and push record to capture both the mundane and momentous occasions from our day-to-day here at ABC. And every so often, we take these little slices of life and weave them together. In this current ClipADay collection, you’ll get an idea of what it’s like to be on the ABC team both in and outside of the office in about 60 seconds or so. Since you’ve made it this far down the page, go ahead and watch. It’ll only take a minute …
