Are you inherently curious? Do you find yourself digging in to find out “why?” Are you passionate about data and finding the meaning behind the numbers? Do you love to arm brands with insights and intelligence that lead to business solutions? If so, we might have the right job for you.

We are DeVries Global, an integrated communications agency headquartered in New York. Though we bring expertise across numerous platforms and disciplines, we aren’t your traditional shop. Stripping away the tired definitions of "PR" or "advertising," we marry a data-informed, insight-driven approach with proven public relations and social media know how. We are imaginative, passionate and decisive.

We recognize that when curiosity drives, creativity thrives. What’s more, we’ve ditched the standard agency protocols, hierarchies and billing structures in favor of living in our clients’ worlds, so that we can bring them blue-sky thinking and big-time results.
