Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum.

We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.

We are seeking an experienced Freelance ACD Team to support a retail client for 40 hours/week, during Edelman's working hours (9-5ish, eastern time).

Our team drives some of the world’s most buzz-worthy work, like eBay's pre-loved runway shows at NY and London Fashion Week or Dove’s guide for coding Black hairstyles in gaming. Here, we don’t just follow culture; we aim to change it.

Expect a range of creative work that defies traditional PR or advertising norms. One day you’re ideating a content series, the next you’re brainstorming with our AI team or crafting culture-shifting activation ideas. If you’re drawn to projects that land in the NY Times and on Cannes shortlists, you’ll fit right in.

What We Expect

We want passion. We want excitement. It’s brainstorm day so we need your energy and vision. But also, your ideas. Especially your ideas. You’ll bounce them off your co-workers, laughing with strategic planners, designers, content creators, and writers to create amazing and enduring work that you’ll be proud to put in your book and share on LinkedIn for sure – but also work that will have you telling your family and friends, “we did that.”
