Careers
Do what you love, love what you do
Yellow Duck Marketing is a mission-driven marketing company that believes in improving communities. Our responsive and passionate team delivers integrated and inspired marketing solutions for our clients. You’ll also find that the Ducks believe in doing good and having fun — if you value the same, you’ll thrive here. We encourage giving back to our communities and engage in volunteering both in our time and pro bono work for some amazing organizations each year.
The Duck Pond is an open, collaborative and creative agency environment tucked between the Plaza Midwood and Chantilly neighborhoods in Charlotte.
Our Core Values
Passionate
We are passionate about our creative craft, passionate about what we’re doing and how we can impact our partners’ businesses, and passionate about making our communities a better place. Our ducks represent many cities from Charlotte to Knoxville to Charleston and beyond, and we all enjoy making a difference where our roots are planted. Some ducks have even traveled abroad to give their time and talents!
Positive
We bring a positive attitude to our clients and teamwork.
Partner Focused
Do right by the customer and everything will be ducky. We proceed from the customer POV and are customer focused above all else. We have the client’s interest in mind, not creative for the sake of being creative for our own purposes.
Adaptable
We are multi-faceted, nimble, malleable and above all listen to the client’s needs. We strive to keep on top of industry trends.
Responsive
We are agile and timely with genuine eagerness.
