RAPP is home for me. After being away for a few years, I found nowhere more focused on driving business forward and delivering value through creative, innovative thinking. RAPP’s internal dedication to people and culture is second to none.

Hamish is best known for solving creative problems… and creatively solving problems.

In his five years at RAPP, he has leveraged his award-winning expertise in financial, automobile, membership, and other categories to push the team (and clients) to create great, smart work.

There are so many genuinely smart and talented people here. And the way clients think today is more in line with RAPP’s offering than ever before. We bring together creativity, strategy, data and analytics, like no other agency.

RAPP is a place where an analyst has the freedom to think strategically and where a strategist has the freedom to dive analytically.  It’s an ideal fit for those who are interested in more than their specific discipline and have a natural curiosity about how it can all come together.

Creativity gives brands the keys to move people to action, and data the power to do this with absolute precision. Yet there's a quiet revolution under way in how we design for behavior change across today's addressable media and technology landscape. It's transforming how brand stories are lived. RAPP is at the leading edge of this brave new world.

Two words: Fiercely Individual. I wanted to be a part of an organization that accepts everyone for their uniqueness and everything that brings to the table. I have admiration for the creative process and as a creative person myself, I looked for an organization where that part of myself could flourish as a culture add.
