What if you could innovate every day?

What does Adlucent do? Our marketing department would say we “use paid search marketing to maximize profitable revenue growth for online retailers.”

But what we really like to do is shake up industries with non-traditional thinking and abundant creativity to solve difficult problems. Every day at Adlucent we’re dreaming up, creating or testing something new.

We definitely love collaborating to build and use innovative software to over-perform for our clients. But we thrive most from building a close and collaborative family of talented, motivated and entrepreneurial intellectuals with a passion to be the best…

That’s where you come in.

What if work didn’t feel like work?

We love Adlucent like we love Austin; it’s a unique, diverse and rapidly growing community we call home. And it gets better every day.

We also love what we do. Paid search marketing is fast-paced, highly measurable and rapidly evolving, especially compared to traditional advertising. Honestly, it’s fun and maybe even addictive (in a good way).

We’re looking for bright and motivated individuals to use our proprietary software to create, analyze, and optimize paid search campaigns to address the needs of the dynamic and growing Internet retail market.

I like the sound of that!

What if instead of a job you found a career?

At Adlucent, you’ll become an expert in search engine marketing and use our leading edge technology & processes that are beginning to catch the e-commerce world by storm.

With this power you’ll help world class Internet retailers like our clients Buy.com, Adorama, and Oriental Trading Company connect with more customers and reach unthinkable levels of performance.

Because of our fast growth and focus on education, there is abundant opportunity (with dedication and hard work) to advance quickly within the organization and earn great responsibility.

What else?

You + Adlucent Are we a good fit?
