When was the last time you thought you could make the world a better place? Imagine following through with your dreams and making that positive change happen. C+C is an award-winning integrated marketing agency all about changing behaviors for good. We help our clients motivate people to embrace a variety of social and environmental actions. Like choosing an energy-efficient appliance. Applying for college programs. Getting the COVID-19 vaccine. Making good financial decisions. Taking public transit. Saving water. Basically, doing things to make the world a better place. We've been working on social issues and sustainability projects since 2005. We have beautiful offices in Seattle, WA, Portland, OR, and Boston, MA to accommodate employees in a hybrid or full-office setting.

You will also support, as time allows, C+C’s Director of Business Development, in project management for firm-wide proposals for C+C’s services. C+C provides our clients with an integrated mix of strategic communications, creative, program marketing, cultural communications, market insights and energy efficiency program implementation.
