Senior Account Executive, Business Leadership - Kellogg's

WHY YOU’LL LOVE DOING IT AT MOMENTUM
Because the idea that that a brand’s action is more important than its rhetoric is the key to our entire approach. It is all about the experience and we can—hands down, bar- none—create that better than anyone else. That is not jargon or ego—it’s truth. Experience creates the connections that lead to loyalty, advocacy, and sales. So, we imagine and create those things here, in what we call the total brand experience. And how we do it is with genius, dedication, strategic thinking and working together as collective groups. Before you get any ideas, it is important you know we are serious about taking care of each other here. We work too closely not to have fun together. We work too smart not to make the world better. And we work too well not to continually push for more.
