STUDIO MANAGER, NYC

ABOUT LOOK

Look is a non-traditional agency with roots in journalism, offering an independent, creative look at brands.

We’re not ad people. We grew up in journalism and fashion, with different rules, aesthetics, and timetables. We believe that craft is a talent, not a budget issue. We believe ideas should be experienced, not explained. And that unexpected solutions come from surprising sources – so we connect with non-traditional artists and partners to bring multiple perspectives to everything we do.

We have offices in London, NYC and LA and work with a broad range of clients, including Vogue, Nike, Chanel, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, MAC, Glossier and Hermès. To learn more, check out www.look.inc
