Job Requirements/Description

Hype, Demand, and Legacy is what we create. We're an agency driven by having a deep understanding of sub-cultures that go on to shape behaviours.

We believe culture comes first and it's at the heart of everything we do. An agency built to launch, position, and transform businesses in a fast-paced, demanding, and people-powered world.

We work on the belief of valuegraphics, over stereotypical demographics. Truly delving into the wants of humans influenced by culture, data, and insights.

Our network spans across the globe from tastemakers, brands, creators, celebrities, and the people you just need to know to make what seems like an unachievable ambition happen.

OUR CULTURE

We are very much in the business of people at The Fitting Room, we have an exciting People Agenda for the next five years, focused on talent and working in partnership with our team.

We're not here for big BS statements on the website, we just move with respect for our team and what they might need. For example, when the true extent of the cost of living was revealed, we immediately gave everyone a 5% pay rise.

As part of an employee incentive in 2023 we took some of the team to Coachella in California.

We are our people.
