The majority of your day, and over 1/3 of your life, is spent at work. But that time is a lot more enjoyable when you’re surrounded by people you love and respect. A certain type of person is pulled to MindHandle. It’s someone who enjoys the idea of ‘togetherness.” Working together. Creating together. Laughing together. And making a difference together. After all, that’s what binds us together.
In the end, our good work is a direct result of our good people.
Our agency culture is all about seeking positive change in individuals and our community.
The arts have been an important part of the agency since the beginning. The MindHandle Scholarship Fund is a registered 501(c)(3) that provides financial aid to high school seniors pursuing education in fine arts. The agency has also donated services to the Dallas non-profit Color Me Empowered that engages at-risk kids through the arts.
During the 2020 COVID Crisis, the agency organized a movement called #TeamUp4TakeOut – an effort to courage people to order takeout from their favorite local restaurant at least four times a week.
Within our industry, MindHandle is a corporate member and supporter of AAF Dallas, DSVC and AMA DFW.
From cultural days like dia de MindHandle, to financial support of St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital for 10 years, our agency culture attracts good people who do great things.
The Strategist is the fuel in communications planning, and is primarily responsible for the synthesis of clients’ objectives or problems into effective solutions. As a Strategist, you represent “knowing what to do.” While there are many elements of client and internal interaction, the Strategist should be the expert on the audience above all else.

The Brand Manager is the agency force that drives toward the client’s best interest and negotiates that with the Agency’s. You live and die by three documents: The brief (what success looks like), the estimate (what it takes to get there) and the timeline (how long it takes). This trifecta of service makes you an orchestrator, activates the many resources of the Agency and directing them toward a common vision.

At MindHandle, we believe great stories move human beings on a deeply emotional level. As a member of the creative team, the Copywriter will research, write and edit stories for a variety of projects, working closely with brand management, project management, strategy and art direction to brainstorm ideas, create concepts, and develop messaging. The most successful copywriter will be a quick learner with a versatile style.

Art Director, you are the eyes on the agency’s creative product. Brand stories, when told visually, come to life in wickedly powerful ways. You have the vision and the skills to breathe life into ideas, turning briefs into BOOM. You’re a problem solver, and there’s nothing you can’t fix with a pencil and the pen tool. But just as importantly, you’re a problem spotter.
