Djangogigs.com - Details for the django developer (contract) gig

SUMMARY Why did you wake up today? If you're like us, you crawled out of bed and pulled on your boots to figure out how to do something wildly, insanely, great. (Because you'd go a little mad if you didn't.) We know. We get it.

We're Manifest/Kerosene. The brainchild of two of the most compelling, competitive digital agencies in the business. Seen some cool LEGO stuff lately? That's us. Tinkered with any award winning social networking executions for Bally Total Fitness or McDonalds? Yep, us too. Been knocked out by an online experience for one of Hollywood's latest blockbusters? Again, yours truly.

For us it's not truly great if it doesn't blow our own minds first… long before we get to yours. But it isn't creative for creativity's sake. It's creative with purpose. We design to inspire, spark conversation, and engage people in the most compelling, meaningful ways. Today, we're looking to step things up. Recent investments have allowed us to fire up the after-burners, propelling us head-on to one simple goal… create the best new agency the world has never seen… and we need your help to bring it to fruition.

Join us. Be a part of defining our biggest chapter yet: in Chicago, in L.A. and wherever we decide to set up shop next.
