HG Overview
Hamster Garage is a partner management agency based in Chicago. Our expertise spans across the partnerships and affiliates channel, encompassing affiliate marketing, brand partnerships, podcasts, influencer marketing, and more. We work with leading brands that are in a high-growth phase, like Airbnb, Canva, Uber, Brex, Masterclass, etc.
HG is a newer (established mid-2019), lean, and growth-minded agency working with innovative brands to meet their acquisition needs. We’re growing fast and looking to add team members to grow with the agency, and we need talented marketing professionals to help us leave our mark on the industry.

Working directly with our Affiliate Account Directors and founders, you’ll help drive meaningful growth for global brands and innovative startups in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Why Work With Hamster Garage?
A place where ambition meets impact. HG brings an in-house marketing incubation team approach to Partnership Marketing. We exist because our founder worked internally for one of the largest tech hospitality brands in the world and worked with the top agencies in the space, but couldn’t find the talent necessary to meet the highest standards required by the best brands.
Our mission is to provide best-in-class service and quality to our clients through top-tier talent and strategy. If you join our team, you’ll be part of a fast-growing team that is passionate about marketing and be able to make an impact on not only your clients but the company.
We’re small enough that you will be part of special projects and task forces to help build the company while working on client portfolios for some of the fastest-growing brands in the world and helping them cultivate strategies on how to acquire users.
