About DDB Remedy:

We're a bunch of creative, Intelligent, friendly, Interesting, Interested, diverse and happy people (and dogs). Surprising and delighting our clients and ourselves is what gets us out of bed In the morning.

We have a simple belief — Unexpected Works. Meaning that the best idea is the one you that you could never see coming. And the only way to get there is through genuine creativity. The kind of creativity that scares and excites us at the same time because it's so different. We even get goosebumps just thinking about it. This kind of work takes guts, luckily, we've got plenty of that here.

We're one of the leading Healthcare Communications agencies and our goal is simple, to improve people's health and wellbeing.

We develop strategic solutions, create identities, produce beautiful content, and create experiences for HCPs, patients, salesforces, and consumers across multiple channels.

We're proud of what we do, creating unexpected work that makes a difference.

Our commitment:

DDB Remedy is an equal opportunity employer.

We celebrate individuality and diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment and a sense of belonging for all employees without regard to race, age, sex, disability, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, gender identity or religion.

Everyone has the right to be themselves.

That's why we cherish 4 important 'freedoms', that protect our rights to be creative, to experiment, to be who we are and to feel included and safe at work.

These inform our every word, every action and every result, every day. They are Freedom from fear, Freedom to fail, Freedom from Chaos and Freedom to be.

For us, inclusivity and diversity aren't "nice-to-have" - they're central to our business strategy.

The more inclusive we are, the more people feel they can bring their whole selves to work, the better our work will be.
