How often do you encounter a company that wants to know what makes you Curious?
We’re a company that looks for the naturally Curious and fosters an environment where a Curious Mind leads to Surprising Results for our clients, our company, our team and your career.
We are Curious.
Universal McCann (UM) is a world leader in advertising communications, specializing in Media Planning and Buying services. We are dedicated to delivering sustainable communications solutions through engagement innovation and accountable creativity. Regardless how many accounts we service, how many innovations we instigate and how many awards we win, UM would be nowhere without its employees.

We strive to recruit and retain team members who are Curious about the world around them, passionate about what they do and possess the highest level of integrity. UM’s goal is to become the most innovative and rewarded media communications partner around the world. To do so, we must foster a culture of Curiosity and drive the creation of ideas whose impact we can measure.

Curiosity is how we approach every challenge, every brainstorm session, and every strategy. It is what we look for in every candidate at UM. It is the perspective with which we expect you view every piece of literature you read and every piece of media you come in contact with. It is how we hope you dream and daydream.
