At Think Shift, we believe in building jobs around people. Our talented team of multi-disciplined creators and strategists have one thing in common: the desire to realize their own potential. We help our clients do the same.
As one of the largest ag-focused agencies in the world, we help agriculture and agri-food organizations imagine their future — then re-invent themselves accordingly. Our people have a head for logic and a heart for magic, and our clients engage us to help them think strategically and craft the stories that will propel them forward. Through our progressive approach to leadership development, strategic planning, corporate culture, brand development and marketing, we help ag leaders see their true potential and leverage change to bring their traditional brands into the new world.
We're looking for creative and strategic minds who share our desire to find and realize potential — for ourselves and for our clients. Let's get in touch.

We believe in providing guidelines for Think Shifters to operate within instead of putting up fences that can restrict true creativity and diversity of thought. With the freedom to operate in a way that best works for them, it allows everyone to bring their best selves to work. But with great freedom also comes great responsibility and the expectation of following through on what you say you'll do. We understand this approach is not for everyone.

It's for those who are committed to protecting, preserving and overall, enhancing what has been entrusted to them.
