ABOUT CORNETT

Named a 2021 Small Agency of the Year, Gold Southeast by Ad Age. We are proudly

small, independent, and female-owned. We're a collective of fun-loving, intelligent, imaginative, driven, and sometimes rowdy

weirdos. Like any good Kentuckian, we're genuine and hospitable. We don't like big

egos. We're open-minded. We play nice. We share. We're fostering a culture centered

on inclusiveness, where all of our people can show up daily and be 100% themselves

and feel 100% comfortable, celebrated and respected for the perspective they bring to

CORNETT.

Our goal is to be an agency where any brand can come to us with any audience and

challenge, and we can deliver and connect culturally beyond their wildest expectations.

ABOUT LEXINGTON

If you've been to Lexington, you love it. If you haven't been, you will. A beautiful,

culturally rich place full of good people. For a mid-sized city, we have an oversized but

tight-knit creative community that permeates everything-food, art, bourbon, music, and

industry. A little bit Southern, a little bit Midwest, making for a vibe that's unique but the

best of everything.

We're surrounded by rolling hills and gorgeous horse farms, with a thriving, bustling and

constantly evolving downtown. Within a short drive, you can see where the Bluegrass

kisses the Appalachian Mountains. You can chase waterfalls. You can hike into absolute

seclusion. And you can explore the Red River Gorge, one of the best-kept geological

wonders in America.

Not to mention, the cost of living makes you feel like you're getting away with

something.

Like we said, there's a lot to love about our big little city.

WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE?

The position reports to the assigned Account Executive(s) or Senior Account

Executive(s).

The position is located in Lexington, KY
