Account Coordinator
NJI is a wildly creative and strategically disciplined agency with offices in London, Washington, D.C., and Singapore. We work seamlessly across teams and time zones to align and deliver for our clients.
Managing creativity is an extraordinary idea. Purposefully limitless, it takes a skilled hand to shape and guide the potential of an idea from inception to fruition. This is what we do every day at NJI. We practice our craft in service of ambitious policy-minded clients that seek to influence, persuade or change the dialogue around issues that matter most to them.
We geek out on well written headlines and subtly explosive design executions. We obsess over every breath in a voice over and each line of code we execute. The purposeful use of “we” is emblematic of NJI. We work as a team to support each other and our clients to do amazing, complex things.
