Want to work on the cutting edge of social media? Want to join a company whose brand is so strong that we get unsolicited clients reaching out every week? Want to work at an agency whose mission is to Spread Joy? 

Movers+Shakers is a new kind of creative agency, built for the era of social & agility. We act as a creative AOR, influencer agency, and production house -- streamlined to drive cultural relevance with Gen Z and Millennials.

Fast Company named Movers+Shakers one of the "Most Innovative Companies" in the world, and Ad Age named us a "Small Agency of the Year" (three years in a row). Adweek called us "the best agency in the world at creating campaigns on TikTok." 

We're really proud of our work, and we're even more proud of our culture. In their first week, new employees inevitably comment on how positive and supportive our workplace is. A month in, they're noting how little ego there is, and how departments collaborate surprisingly deeply.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
