Full-time, Remote

We Are:

Half Past Nine was founded to redefine the experience companies have working with outside marketing partners. Founded in 2020, we're a young and diverse team that spans 4 continents. We were also founded to be 100% remote, and have no plans to require team members to return to a boring, stuffy, office, ever.

Half Past Nine is a team that hails from every function of marketing from Brand, Marketing Automation, Paid, to PR, to Social, we view growth as a holistic challenge that requires a 360° view on customer acquisition, journey, and retention.

That said, Half Past Nine is not a full-service shop. We focus on two things: Paid Media, and Analytics Engineering. Paid media meaning the deployment of paid dollars at the intersection of efficiency and long term growth. Analytics Engineering meaning best-in-class technology and solutions to have a unified, holistic, 360° view on their customer, and the market.
