So, what is Crux? It’s the nitty gritty, the heart of the matter. We know the traditional agency model isn’t a fit for everyone, so we take a different approach. Think of us as the “un-agency.”
When you join Crux, you become part of an entrepreneurial team committed to elevating brands and amplifying missions. We’re trusting, accountable and unrelenting driven to help each other and our clients succeed.
Are you a social media student, a marketing or comms major who lives online, or any other type of student who wants real experience running social media for real brands? We’re on the hunt for an enthusiastic social media intern to join our team this summer!
At Crux, we're a tight-knit crew that thrives on innovation, bold ideas and lots of humor. With our fractional CMO model, we provide a simple, smart and impactful marketing solution for our clients. Think of us as a client’s in-house marketing department, but outsourced.
