While there are certainly cultural differences across our offices, there are also many striking similarities in terms of our work, our teams and our people. We constantly observe and analyze. We maintain a world view and are focused on the big picture. We aggressively search for trends and develop insights. We are focused on creating content that has passion and purpose, bringing intelligent ideas to life and creating new ways to connect with the audiences that are most important to our clients.

We're also a diverse group that brings a broad mix of experiences, backgrounds, interests and expertise to work each day. Our talented staff includes news and broadcast producers, research and insights experts, media gurus, political advisors, business experts and communications professionals with decades of experience.

Most of all, we are fiercely committed to hiring the best people for our clients' businesses. In addition to hiring talent from related communications disciplines like marketing, advertising, digital communications, journalism and media, we are always interested in talent from other industries including finance, politics, technology, healthcare, consumer products, legal and management consulting. We look for smart people with strong communications, business and analytical skills, as well as several core personality traits, including:

Savvy. At MS&L, we've learned that there's more than one kind of smart. There's the facts-at-your-fingertips kind of smart - which we are. But there's another kind - the kind that comes from experience and insight. It goes beyond mere intelligence. It's about being in the know, and making things happen. Our people are bright, clever, head-of-their-class and ahead of the curve. But when you add street smarts to the equation, the result is a collective intelligence that can solve virtually any business problem.

Inventive. We are a company of creative thinkers. Problem solvers. A collection of innovative people who approach every situation, every challenge, with freshness and originality. We never settle for tried and true. We don't aim for safe or predictable. We go for broke. We push the edge. Right to the point where the edge disappears and we end up in a new space no one's ever seen before. For us, it's non-negotiable - we strive for bold thinking that connects on an emotional level and ignites the imagination.

Anticipatory. We believe that it's not enough to be merely competent. To do what we're told. Or to deliver only what our clients ask of us. That's why we work so hard to learn each client's business. So we can see beyond their immediate needs. Anticipate next steps. Expect the unexpected. We're a company of mentalists and mind readers, constantly working so that we're never surprised by the unforeseen. We're always prepared. Always ready. Always able to take the initiative and react at a moment's notice.

Catalytic. We believe that in a constantly changing world, we must respond quickly with ideas that can transcend and transform. We don't just spark the marketplace, we make change happen faster. We introduce new conversations about our clients' brands. Our strategies and programs trigger new connections, and new ways to build momentum. We constantly push for new and better methods for people to learn, engage and grow. We are catalysts for transformational thinking and our goal is a faster, better-connected world.
