Marketing Coordinator

Published: 6/14/2022

Job Description

Welcome aboard VSSL. It’s pronounced “vessel,” but we’re more than a ship—we’re a fast, agile digital agency of brand builders, campaign makers, website creators, and more. Our mission is to set the course for our clients, creating bold digital marketing experiences that propel brands to success. Our crew brings vision, strategy, spirit, and loyalty to the challenge of helping clients stand out in today’s aggressive, crowded, and fast-changing digital world.

This role juggles a lot of quick-turn projects at once rather than long hours—we’re strict about keeping it to 40 hrs/week. If you’re customer-focused, highly detail-oriented, and can manage multiple fast-paced projects at once, we want to talk to you.

Every role at VSSL comes with a documented career path, so you’ll know exactly what it takes to grow here.

MAKE SURE WE’RE YOUR KIND OF CREW

This crew succeeds because we’ve got each other’s backs. We’re quick to offer help and accept it when needed. We’re flexible enough to wear whatever hat needs wearing. And we love a good fight—if it’s for the crew, our clients, or an idea we believe in. That’s how we get to our destination: working as one crew to build lasting brands that stand out.

Every member of the VSSL crew lives by our values:

We are One Crew

The strongest crew is one that works (and celebrates) together. That’s because none of us is as smart as all of us. Through everything, we always have each others’ backs.

Communication is Our Compass

Clear communication is our guide. We’re open with our thoughts and open-minded towards others. We’re always respectful—but we don’t sugarcoat s**t.

Quality is our Course

Our people and our work are our greatest assets. That’s why we don’t compromise when it comes to our crew, our clients, and our work. We deliver the best—every damn time.

All Hands on Deck

We know how to solve problems together by staying focused on creative solutions. We aren’t fazed by challenges or risk-taking. In fact, that’s where we thrive.

Up Spirits!

We’re a tight-knit group—we celebrate our wins and have fun along the way. Each crew member contributes to our collective success. “Up Spirits!” is our rally cry when the grog starts flowing.
