About garden3d

We are worker owned creative collective, innovating on everything from brands and IRL communities to IoT devices and cross platform apps. We share profit, open source everything, spin out new businesses, and invest in exciting ideas through financial and/or in-kind contributions.

Our client roster includes Google, Stripe, Figma, Hinge, Black Socialists in America, ACLU, Pratt, Parsons, Mozilla, The Nobel Prize, MIT, Gnosis, Etsy & Gagosian.

We’re the software team behind innovative products like The Light Phone & Mill, and we operate a global, decentralized community space collective called Index Space.

We think of our garden3d as collective for creative people, prioritizing a happy, talented, and diverse studio culture. We work on projects that bring value to our world, and we balance deep care for the work we do with a genuine curiosity about life outside of our jobs.

Sanctuary Computer — Development

At Sanctuary Computer we’re building a different type of technology shop – one that prioritizes close collaboration between the client and the craftsperson.

Our projects range from design-forward websites, to robust web apps, to native mobile development.

XXIX — Design

When we started XXIX in 2013, we set out to create a different kind of design studio and we’ve thrived because we continually ask what a creative practice can be.

We’re building a radically different kind of organization that values autonomy, growth, transparency, and shared responsibility.

Index Space — Community

A network of physical spaces all around the world, Index provides space for the exchange of knowledge and tools.

We nurture trust within the creative community through generosity and abundance of ideas and care.

garden3d TK — Media

At garden3d, we’re in the early stages of building an experimental media company exploring emerging themes related to the evolving landscape of technology, design and culture.

We aim to monetize this outlet, publish books, produce screenplays, and release music.

⛰️ The Head of Marketing & Communications Role

The garden3d Head of Marketing & Communications has one mandate: make sure everything we put on the internet is compelling and interesting. garden3d is a house of brands - Sanctuary Computer (development), XXIX (design), Index Space (community), USB Club (digital community), and the garden3d umbrella itself - and each needs its own voice, its own audience, and its own drumbeat of work worth sharing. Working in close partnership with our founder & president Hugh Francis, this person decides what we make, where it runs, and whether it clears our bar.

You can be based anywhere. A lot of our studios, spaces and people gravitate around New York, so there's some pull to be here, and a good part of this job is noticing what's happening in our world and turning it into content. But we already work across timezones, and we would happily hire in Europe, Singapore, Chicago, or wherever you are. If you're the right person, we want to hear from you.

This role will interface with studio leads, designers, developers, editors, animators, photographers, community managers, event producers and ad platforms across every garden3d vertical.

Simply, this person can easily context shift between our massively diverse set of workstreams, find the most compelling stories, and get them produced at an exceedingly high bar.

This person owns our channels end to end: the garden3d Substack, our podcast, Instagram, X, and the paid accounts behind them. They collab with our team, and a rotating cast of freelance editors, designers and animators, and they run the calendar that keeps a dozen workstreams shipping on time. They think in PESO terms (paid, earned, shared, owned) with the weight on shared and owned media - paid is a tool they use deliberately, and traditional press is a bonus, but not generally where we focus.

The ambition runs past marketing a services business. garden3d TK is our young experimental media company, and this role is its engine: books, screenplays, music, media, activations: a record label for ideas. The ideal candidate looks at a worker-owned collective with four studios, a network of community spaces and an open P&L and sees the best content brief on the internet.

Responsibilities & Mandates

‍Quality never less than 8/10

We aspire for 10/10, celebrate 9/10 and never publish anything that’s not an 8/10 - visually, narratively, and in production quality. This person holds that bar across every post, video, essay and episode on every vertical, and would rather kill a piece than let a 6 out the door. Their feedback makes work better and faster, without micromanaging the people who make it.

Social That Stops the Scroll

They carry a current, practitioner-level read on how each platform works right now: what arrests someone mid-scroll, how a hook earns the next three seconds, why a format lands on TikTok and dies on LinkedIn. Short-form video is a first-class craft here, not an afterthought.

️A House of Brands, Each in Its Own Voice

Sanctuary Computer doesn't sound like XXIX, and neither sounds like Index. They manage several messaging columns at once, keeping each brand's tone distinct while the umbrella story stays coherent.

Case Study Production

Every client engagement across our creative agencies should end in a case study worth reading. They own that production line - interviewing the team, shaping the narrative, art-directing the assets - and ship case studies that win each studio its next project.

️Websites That Put Our Best Foot Forward

Our websites are usually the first p
