#FightingCoronavirus: The One Club launches Covid-19 Jobs Board

The One Club for Creativity has launched https://www.oneclub.org/articles/-view/covid-19-jobs, a free resource for connecting people seeking work globally with agencies, design studios, production companies and brands looking to fill open positions.  This is done in response to the sudden volatility in the advertising and design industries brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.

 The free service is open to the entire industry, including individuals at all levels of experience in all departments looking for full-time and project work, freelance assignments and internships. One Club membership is not required to participate.

Any agency, studio, production company or brand around the world can submit postings for immediate openings, as well for job opportunities expected in the future once the pandemic is over.

While economic instability has led some firms to tighten budgets and reduce workforces, others are still looking to fill positions.  Upon learning last week of openings from some One Club corporate member agencies, Justin Epstein and Louis Geist, who head up the club’s Membership department, quickly created a simple https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScvVffOihJLhtlsTeB4z9 BGWe_q0tSr2oy1CVGw9SBZp_CU9Q/viewform for posting openings.  The form links to a https://www.oneclub.org/articles/-view/covid-19-jobs listing all job openings.

The team then contacted other corporate member agencies and offered the platform as a free service for them to list openings.  In just a few days, The One Club Covid-19 Jobs Board had more than 180 job openings posted.

“We needed to act quickly to help people whose jobs have been affected by the pandemic, and this was the easiest, fastest way to connect people with job openings,” said Epstein, One Club corporate member and chapter manager.  “It’s a simple, no-frills platform that can make a real difference for both parties.”  

“The One Club's mission is to support and celebrate the creative community,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO of the global nonprofit organisation.  “Everyone knows about the ‘celebrate’ part, with programmes like The One Show.  This new jobs board is an example of the ‘support’ we can offer to the industry, acting as a conduit to connect the global community with job opportunities.”

The One Club for Creativity, producer of The One Show, ADC Annual Awards and Creative Week, is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to support and celebrate the success of the global creative community.  The One Show is a global award show for advertising, design and digital marketing, focusing on the creativity of ideas and quality of execution.

The global ADC Annual Awards honours creative excellence in craft, design and innovation across all disciplines. Creative Week takes place in New York every May, and is the preeminent festival celebrating the intersection of art and commerce.
