About Collective Measures

Collective Measures is the agency brands call when they're ready to move past the noise. We don't wait for certainty; we create it. Built at the intersection of media and analytics, we turn raw signals into directions that are clear, actionable, and built to scale. Our work fuses the logic of data with the momentum of conviction, shaping systems that turn constant change into measurable progress. We're not theorists or tacticians; we're builders. Every plan we design connects insight to execution, vision to proof. The result is marketing that doesn't just perform, it propels. As an employee-owned agency, we think like stakeholders because we are. Collective Measures does not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, age, parental status, military service, or other non-merit factors. Studies have shown that women and people of color may be less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every one of the qualifications listed. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job. We would encourage you to apply for a job at Collective Measures even if you don't meet every one of our qualifications listed.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
