Marketing, Client Side, Planning / Strategy, SF / Bay Area, USA

THE METHOD STORY
In 2001 the founders of Method launched a company with a crazy idea. Their concept was to revolutionize cleaning by creating the first home care life brand that delivered a better experience through design, healthy values, eco-responsibility, premium fragrance and product innovation. In short, Method has a vision that cleaning should be a positive, healthy and fun experience. And now, the Method revolution is well underway and expanding rapidly.

In 2006, Method was the 7th fastest growing private company in America and the fastest growing consumer products company. In five short years we have built the first lifestyle brand within home care and developed an innovation track record across cleaning, laundry, air care and personal care. Method products can be found in leading retailers like Target, Costco, Whole Foods, and most grocers nationwide along with growing distribution in four countries. We have disrupted every aspect of the category including packaging, advertising, PR, interactive and merchandising. And we are only getting started. Therefore, Method needs a talented team to help get the company to the next level because the competition is waking up.
