WHY NEW ENGEN?
At New Engen, we help brands grow—not just bigger, but smarter. We’re a digital marketing agency built to drive meaningful impact across the entire customer journey, blending media, creative, analytics, influencer, and retail strategies into performance-driven campaigns.
Some clients partner with us through long-term agency relationships. Others tap into specialized solutions—like Donut Studios, our in-house creative studio for platform-native and short-form content, or Acorn Creator Suite, our influencer marketing solution built for retail impact. While each solution brings its own focus and flavor, they’re all part of how we deliver for our clients, together, as one team.
We’re a collaborative group of strategists, creatives, analysts, and makers who are all in on helping brands—and each other—thrive. We work hard, stay humble, and build with purpose.

Own Operational Excellence and Delivery
Hold ultimate accountability for the quality, speed, and consistency of Creator Operations across sourcing and recruitment, contracting and negotiation, and end-to-end content delivery.

Bring deep expertise to complex creator negotiations, empowering the team to navigate contracts and partnerships effectively while building strong, long-term relationships with creators and their representatives.

Partner with the VP of Strategic Operations to shape and execute a multi-quarter innovation roadmap for Creator Operations.

Partner with Clients and Sales at a Senior Level
