WHO IS FUSE CREATE?

We’ve built a collective of people and talent to do one thing; Turns Heads. For us, that means creating work that gets noticed and brands that get adored. And for 20+ years, we’ve had an overwhelming urge to do that. To build an independent, fullservice creative agency where every brief, campaign and person is equal parts common sense and wonder. To lay a foundation for the work and a path for our clients, and in the process, change perceptions, change behaviour, and change the rules.


What does independence mean for you? It means your life, career, and growth won’t be dictated by the vagaries of New York or account shifts in Kuala Lumpur. Your contributions will be seen, noted, and celebrated by the hands-on ownership right here. And it means we can make the decisions that matter to you, with you.


That independence allows us to adapt, adopt, and never think a certain way but rather, any way. And at the heart of every idea, campaign, or experience we create, is always the drive to Turn Heads.


If anything you just read resonates, drop us a line, we’ll find a place for you.

STRATEGY @ FUSE

We believe that work that turns heads, requires strategies that change minds. This role is about developing the consumer understanding and context that helps us get to great creative work, but also about building the internal and external relationships that build client buy in and creative excitement.

At FUSE you get to work directly with leadership, touch every stage of your projects, and get to collaborate with a fully integrated, multidisciplinary team: experts in not just strategy, but also account service, creative, production, media, XM, PR, and more. You will become a more well-rounded strategic thinker, and learn to speak the languages of your partners not just within FUSE, but in IATs and client conference rooms. You’ll learn how to be a better strategist, not just how to apply a one-size-fits-all process.
