Careers at Ready Set

Ready for the new era of advertising?

We are Ready Set. We are redefining advertising where creativity drives performance, and every brand has the opportunity to shine.

Our Story

The gap we started to close.

We started Ready Set because we saw a gap between traditional brand marketing and performance-driven digital advertising. Coming from backgrounds in both, we knew creative had to sit at the core, but accountable, data-driven, and optimized for performance across channels.

Our vision was a new advertising industry that everyone could love. One that democratizes access to high-quality creative, makes advertising more efficient and measurable, and delivers better results for brands of all sizes.

So we set out to productize advertising, using technology and AI to make creative production scalable and cost-effective.

Core Values

Five rules we actually run on.

01

#getbetter

Nothing starts out perfect. We’re on a never-ending quest to improve the value we offer to marketers.

Solve the harder problem

Incrementality will not get us there. When there is a harder road that gets us to a better place, we take it.

03

Be direct, be egoless

Attack the problem, respect the person. We’re all one team.

04

If it is to be, it must come from me

We are forever scrappy. If you believe there is something that ought to be done, it’s up to you.

05

It will be ok

Growing companies are full of great days and challenging ones. Embrace both.
