Work that matters. With people who give a damn.

At Ervin & Smith, you won’t just “do marketing”. You’ll help companies solve real business problems — alongside a team that values curiosity, accountability and creativity in equal measure.

Do work that challenges you. For leaders who inspire you.

We believe great marketing comes from people who care — about their craft, their clients and each other. Here, you’ll have the freedom to think critically and build the kind of work you’re proud to stand behind. No silos. No egos. Just people who care deeply about building something meaningful together.

You’ll collaborate with national brands, mid-market innovators and executive leaders, helping them find clarity and confidence through marketing that actually drives results.

Built for balance, belonging and better ideas.

We operate on trust, not timesheets. (Yep, you read that right: no timesheets.) And we believe in work that fits real life, not the other way around. Our culture is grounded in transparency, flexibility and a shared drive to get better — not busier.

Do your best work.

Even as award-winning experts in our respective fields, we’re eager to continue growing and developing. We provide individual and team budgets for training, one-on-one career guidance with a certified coach and access to all the tech and software you need to do your thing.

Choose your time away.

Accruing PTO isn’t a thing at E&S. Instead, we have a policy called “self-managed time off” that puts you in control of how many vacation days you take each year and when. Plus, we typically have at least 15 days of agency closures for holidays – including a few holidays we made up, like “Dead of Winter Break” in February.

Own your schedule.

Other companies talk about work-life balance; we give you the flexibility to make it happen. We trust that you can get your work done while taking time for the things in life that are important to you. Generally, our folks in Omaha operate on a hybrid schedule: two days remote and three days in-office, with lots of flexibility in between.

Enjoy operational excellence.

We follow an operational philosophy called EOS® (Entrepreneurial Operating System) that helps us run our company with clarity and conviction. Our documented processes help projects flow smoothly across departments – even in the fast-paced agency world. By working from a shared playbook, you’ll have clear expectations about how your role contributes to the bigger picture.

Take care of yourself.

Our wellness benefits are designed to support you and your family. We help cover the cost of health, dental and vision insurance, and we offer life and disability benefits. Every year, you get a wellness stipend to spend how you please. And, when it comes time to expand your family, we offer 12 weeks of paid parental leave.

Prepare for your future.

We know the ultimate career goal is retiring comfortably, so we offer a 401k with up to 4% matching. Better yet, you’re fully vested from the start. Salary adjustments happen annually based on performance and cost of living considerations. Our 360 review process helps ensure you have valuable feedback to work toward that next level.

We don’t just have values. We live them.

1.

Stay curious but confident.

What works today might not work tomorrow, and that’s ok. We stay resourceful and agile, with a dose of “never settle” in our bones. We take calculated risks and share our POV — our teammates and clients want to know.

2.

Give a damn.

About our clients, our company, our community and each other. We care passionately about the work we do and the results we achieve.

3.

Own your sh*t.

We stay accountable to ourselves and each other, celebrate our wins and — when things go wrong — we examine, acknowledge, pick up and move on.

4.

Be real.

We are open, honest and show respect for each other. It’s not just about the work we do but how we do it. Trust is built through clarity and candor.

5.

Be really good.

We are each experts in our own roles, high performers with high capacity. We use our experience to make the best decision at every turn. And the work we present is work that only our team could produce.

6.

Make it fun.

We really enjoy what we do, so even when we’re working hard, we know how to make it fun and fulfilling. Which is important; our work lives are a pretty big part of our whole lives.

Our values walk the walk.

We’re proud to be a Certified B Corporation. As an employer, this means we’ve been recognized for prioritizing people, planet and purpose alongside profit.

We’re always up to something.

Every month, we send out a quick digest with our latest insights and updates, including fresh job postings you won’t want to miss. Plus, follow our socials to get the most recent news on events, announcements and all the ways we “make it fun” at work.
