Why is this an exciting opportunity

As the Human Experience (HX) Company, Starcom harnesses the power of media to bridge the tension between what people want and brands need.

We believe the alchemy of people and technology create experiences that people love, and the actions that brands need. Our people are empowered by technology, and they use it to reinvent, navigating brand offerings in the way they want. They are carving their own desire lines through traditional consumer categories.
