Who are we?

Ahoy! At VSSL (pronounced, “Vessel”), we don’t aimlessly drift the seas of modern marketing and advertising. This isn’t our maiden voyage; we have our sea legs and we know what it takes to be successful in today’s aggressive, digitally-driven world.

We’re a crew of knowledgeable, experienced, media-hustlin’ executives, strategists, designers, writers, and account managers. And when our clients work with us, they won’t just have a crew that’s willing to work, they’ll have a crew that’s willing to fight! Because that’s what digital media is – a battle for potential customers’ attention, interaction, and support.

Think you’ve got what it takes to be a part of our salty crew?

What do we value?

We act like a crew. We think like a crew. We work like a crew. Because, well, we are a crew! And while onboard, you’re only as good as the individuals standing to the right and left of you. That’s why, on this ship, you are bound to encounter seas that are challenging, supportive, and encouraging.

What’s the job all about?

We are seeking someone with a high level of integrity and honesty; someone that genuinely cares for VSSL, our values, and our mission! The ideal candidate is someone who is dynamic, can write clean, well-documented code, possesses strong problem-solving skills, and is collaborative at heart. You like to “get things done” and you strive to deliver high-quality work – day in and day out!

This creative crewmember will have:
