Why Hamster Garage?

HG brings an in-house marketing incubation team approach to Partnership Marketing. We exist because our founder worked internally for one of the largest tech hospitality brands in the world and worked with the top agencies in the space, but couldn’t find the talent necessary to meet the highest standards required by the best brands. Our mission is to provide best-in-class service and quality to our clients through top-tier talent and strategy.

If you join our team, you’ll be part of a fast-growing team that is passionate about marketing and be able to make an impact on the company. We’re small enough that you will be part of special projects and task forces to help build the company while working on your core job responsibilities.
