Content Manager

Imagination

About Us:

Pioneering content marketing for more than 20 years in financial services, b2b, retail and associations.

In the beginning

We started with one magazine. Now we work with 30 clients in four verticals on comprehensive content programs, from digital experiences to print engagement, social strategy to video views, podcasts to paid. Things change. Partnering with brands to deliver thought leadership strategy + content + creativity doesn’t.

We’ve come a long way

Imagination opened for business on Nov. 7, 1994, with one airline magazine and three employees in a loft above a Chicago pizza restaurant. Today, we’ve grown to 100-plus staffers in two cities, Chicago and Washington, D.C., working on content programs across four verticals. We’ve been named content marketing agency of the year and one of the most creative content agencies—twice. Pizza still helps fuel our creativity, naturally.
