DU &amp; ACT.3</b></h4><p>
act.3 is an equal opportunity employer. We believe real impact comes from real people and real stories. Everyone has a story to tell, and they should be heard, valued, and respected. No matter where you come from, what you look like, or what you passion is. We celebrate our uniqueness and actively empower an inclusive and equitable world for all. Our community is for everyone, and so is our workplace. Mind matters more than numbers. We value real relationships built on trust and respect. We see each other at eye-level, inside and outside of work. This means we believe in heart counts and not headcounts. It&rsquo;s our differences that enable us to shape the future of brands through people, community and culture and make our ideas happen.</p><h4 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
