Entry Level
About Us
At Vector Media, we’re building the future of Mobility Marketing, where media moves with people, meets them in real life, and makes a lasting impression.
 
In an advertising world cluttered with screens and scrolls, we deliver real-world media with real results. From digital bus shelters and street-level storytelling to experiential activations, college campus and sports partnerships, we connect brands with audiences in the moments that matter most.
 
Our high-impact media, including fully wrapped vehicles and custom-built experiential assets, turns heads in cities nationwide. And with a presence in 50+ markets, we bring campaigns to life across communities, cultures, and coasts.
 
Founded in 1998, Vector has grown from an OOH disruptor into a full-service platform built on data, creativity, and movement. We call it Marketing in Motion, an approach that blends storytelling and strategy to drive results across every channel we touch.
 
But what truly sets us apart is how we show up: as partners. With our clients. With our media partners. With each other. Through accountability, innovation, and shared ambition, we’re helping brands do more than reach people, we’re helping them move people.

What We Value
  • Creativity: We are resourceful, inventive and take pride in creating dynamic campaigns for our advertisers.
  • Collaboration: We value diversity and work in concert as a team. It’s more fun that way.
  • Thoughtfulness: We are purposeful in our goals and our efforts to achieve them.
  • Accountability: We are responsive and reliable and take ownership of our actions.
  • Growth: We value learning, as well as the ambition and perseverance it requires.
  • Fun: We’re unabashedly cheeky at times, and never take ourselves too seriously.
