Who we are
Media A La Carte is a boutique social media agency specializing in organic social, content production, and paid social for clients in the luxury beauty, wellness, jewelry, and alcohol spaces. We’re a woman founded team with a desire to hire a good fit for our team because our philosophy is: life’s too short to work with people you don’t like. We take our work for our clients super seriously but also watch Gilmore Girls in the studio on Wellness Wednesdays once a month. You get the vibe. Our nails are flawless, we love to chat about the latest killer campaign (hem hem, Alex Cooper for Skims bridal?!?! iconic) and we can execute what gets our clients results without breaking a sweat. We’re at the helm of the new era in digital marketing, bringing it all in house, and doing it with style.
Why us
Why not us? Just kidding. Listen, we work hard. We won’t lie to you. This is not a ‘take a shower and do your 10 step skincare routine’ while on the clock type of job. BUT if you loved our intro above, then you’ll love working with our team. Imagine never complaining about the people you work with again? That’s our goal. As a startup going on it’s 5th year with big dreams for scaling, you’ll have the opportunity to get your hands dirty in areas you’d never touch at a bigger agency. We’re competitive with benefits, offer a hybrid work schedule, and have regular company happy hours. Other things you’ll love include Summer Fridays, closed between Christmas and New Years, a remote week over 4th of July, and new business bonuses.You’ll work hard but it’ll be a rewarding job you actually like. We’ll make sure of it.
We’re looking at you!
As an Account Director at Media A La Carte, you’re the ultimate hustler, the queen of the concrete jungle, and the mastermind behind every big win for our clients. You thrive on the pulse of the city, whether it’s working your magic for restaurants, consumer brands, destinations, or hotels. You’re not just in tune with your team and clients – you’re practically telepathic. You devour current events and pop culture like a New York slice, and you never settle for anything less than extraordinary because mediocrity simply isn’t in your vocabulary.
You’re not just a problem solver; you’re a solution architect, turning challenges into triumphs with finesse. Your leadership isn’t just about giving orders; it’s about igniting passion and driving results. You’re a powerhouse of relationships, with a rolodex packed with media mavens and industry titans.
At Media A La Carte, we don’t just want someone who checks the boxes – we want someone who redefines them. You’re strategic, laser-focused on goals, and borderline obsessive about the details. You’re not afraid to take risks because you know that’s where the magic happens. You’re not just a dreamer; you’re a dream maker, shaping the future of our agency with every move you make.
Above all, you’re not just excited about what Media A La Carte is now – you’re electrified by the limitless potential of what it will become. Because in New York City, anything is possible – especially when you’re at the helm.
