Job Description

The founders of Vancouver’s One Twenty Three West (123w) like to make light of the sacrifices that come from running a tight ship.
As the shop’s origin story goes, four men set up shop in co-founder Jeff Harrison’s garage in 2013; they later upgraded their digs to an industrial laundromat, and eventually, a mediocre office space with plywood floors all to keep the talent high and the overhead low.
Over the years, that ethos is what helped the 2020 Gold-winning Small Agency of the Year thrive. With fewer than 40 staff, 123w has packed its creative bench with 15 CDs, including brand new CDs of design Tim Hoffpauir and Moreen Mo Bofill.- Strategy Magazine.
At One Twenty Three West, we’ve always believed in doing things differently. So, we work differently, without your typical hierarchies or egos, to make collaboration seamless. And we’re always looking for people who think differently, too. Talented individuals who look at the world through a multitude of lenses. Creators and innovators who will challenge how we work and help build our clients’ businesses for the better. If you think that sounds like you, we’d love to chat. Our team is made up of people who are as talented as they are great to work with. We are growing and only want to hire the best. This doesnt mean the person who chases the most awards, this means the best at what they do. Everyday. In every way. Our 15 working CDs share the creative director role equally, ensuring a diverse mix of perspectives, opinions and styles for every project. If this sounds interesting to you, we want to talk.
