Open Positions

Social Media Editor (Vancouver)

We are looking for a passionate, politically charged, and mature Social Media Editor to bolster our Vancouver team of activists, artists, dreamers and redeemers.

Adbusters Media Foundation the headquarters of Adbusters magazine, the journal of the mental environment. Since 1989, our collective has smashed ads, castigated corruption, and taken the powers-that-be to task — without ever accepting a single corporate dollar or running a single (non-satirical) ad. And from Buy Nothing Day to Occupy Wall Street, we’ve been at the helm of some of our era’s definitive tone-shifting moments. Our mission is to forge bold alternatives, radical solutions — new ways to live, love, and think.
