Senior Media Planner

Fuel is the intersection of advertising and entertainment - where enjoyment meets solid business strategy. We marry the best strategists and creative minds with an army of in house experts in the fields of animation, design, film and video production, sound design, music and online programming.

What's it like to work at Fuel?

For one thing, "research" regularly includes playing console games on a screen the size of Alaska. We're one of the most advanced and innovative interactive studios in North America, developing online experiences and mobile marketing programs for some of the most respected brands in the world. In your first three months, you'll touch more brands, and gain more experience, than you would working in a traditional agency for a year. 

We're casual. We're fun. We're family. And we promise you'll never be bored. 

Fuel is a global creative and advanced technology agency specializing in youth culture. Fuel helps Fortune 500 global brands such as Microsoft, Coke, Mattel, DreamWorks, Warner Bros., DC Entertainment, Disney, McDonald's, and Hasbro with deep, digital brand experience such as immersive virtual worlds, new technologies (VR/AR/MR), mobile apps, branded entertainment, experiential marketing, and loyalty programs.
