| WHO WE ARE |
MOJO Agency is an independent creative agency based in Brussels, exclusively dedicated to organisations creating positive social and environmental impact.
We partner with foundations, associations, European institutions, international NGOs, purpose-driven businesses, and public organisations to strengthen their visibility, shape compelling narratives, and turn ambitious missions into meaningful impact.

| WHAT WE VALUE |
Beyond experience and technical skills, we are looking for someone who shares the way we approach our work.
You take ownership. You don’t wait for direction. You make informed decisions, take responsibility for your work, and help move projects forward.
You raise the standard. Through your craft, your feedback, and your mentorship, you help others produce stronger work and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.
You think beyond the deliverable. You understand that every design decision shapes not only a brand, but also the relationship with the client and the reputation of the agency.
You leave things better than you found them. Whether it’s a project, a process, a template, or a way of working, you actively contribute to making the agency stronger over time.
You care about quality. You have a sharp eye for detail, strong design judgement, and the discipline to deliver thoughtful, consistent work.
You are dependable. You honour your commitments, communicate openly, and can be trusted to deliver high-quality work on time.
You stay curious. You actively follow developments in branding, design, culture, technology, and creative practice, and continually seek to refine your craft.
| WHY JOIN US? |
You enjoy working on projects that matter. Every organisation we support is working to create positive social or environmental change.
You have real ownership. As a senior member of the team, you’ll have the autonomy to shape creative direction, influence decisions, and leave your mark on the agency.
You collaborate with people who care. You’ll work alongside strategists, designers, developers, copywriters and motion designers who value thoughtful ideas, strong craft and meaningful impact.
You join a human-sized, independent agency. We move quickly, trust one another, keep hierarchy to a minimum, and give everyone the opportunity to make a tangible contribution.
You enjoy flexibility. We work in a hybrid model, with a minimum of three days per week at our coworking space, Le Marais 407 in Forest, Brussels.
