About Fuse Marketing
What is Fuse?
Fuse is a marketing agency for teens and young adults, based in Winooski, Vermont. Its homepage calls it "an independent, award-winning marketing agency that authentically reaches teens and young adults", and says it specializes in "developing and executing sports, sampling, campus, culture, and customer marketing programs for some of the most innovative brands", with services in brand strategy, experiential, social and digital media, PR and creative. The homepage case studies include a live brand experience for Starry at the NBA All-Star Game, PepsiCo's NSPIRE and DRIPS programs, X Games, Amazon's Just Walk Out technology and a rebrand of Tahoe Mountain Club. Its job postings add "For more than twenty years, we've worked with some of the most admired consumer, sports and lifestyle brands in the world", and its recognition page says the agency "has also been a recipient of more than 50 industry awards".
Where will I work?
Fuse is a hybrid employer. Its postings say "Fuse offers a hybrid working environment" and "Fuse employees are welcome to work remotely 2 days per week (Wednesday and Friday) and work in the Winooski, Vermont headquarters on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays". They add that "we are only interviewing candidates based in or willing to relocate to Vermont within driving distance of the office", so this is not a remote-from-anywhere role. The contact page gives the office as 110 West Canal St, Suite 101, Winooski, Vermont 05404, the postings mention offices in Burlington, VT and Portland, OR, and the benefits include an "On-site skate ramp & recreation/fitness room" and a "Dog friendly office".
What is the Fuse team like?
Fuse's staff page describes a team of "Experts in sports marketing, campus marketing, and sampling programs", organised into brand strategy, digital communications, creative, events, production, public relations, people and culture, and finance and operations. Its postings say "Fuse believes that life should be a balance of creating great work and making first chair on a powder day", and its recognition page lists "Fuse Named One of the Best Places to Work in Vermont for the Tenth Consecutive Year" and an Outside Magazine top 50 ranking. Staff can join "Fuse Culture Committee, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, and Environment & Sustainability Committee" groups, and the impact page lists membership of Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility, a community garden and a CSA program. Agency work has a counterweight: the Brand Strategy Account Manager posting asks for "Willingness to travel frequently for business on weekends and holidays".
Work-Life Balance
Every full-time posting read on 2026-10-17 (account management, project management, design and warehouse operations) lists "Summer Fridays" and "Winter Wednesdays – work starts at noon!" in its benefits, next to "15 vacation days to start, plus personal and sick days and your birthday off!", "12 Paid Holidays" and a "Week-long company closure during the last week of the year". The summer Fridays are not defined on any page, so this profile does not claim a full day off; the Winter Wednesday start time is the only shortened day Fuse spells out.
Perks and Benefits
The postings list "75% Employer-Paid Medical/Dental/Vision insurance for employees & dependents", a Health Savings Account contribution, "Employer paid life/disability insurance", a "401(k) plan with employer contribution", paid parental leave, "Fitness, ski pass & cell phone stipends", a gear closet with outdoor gear to borrow, paid volunteer hours and an "Annual Company Ski/Ride Day". The Brand Strategy Account Manager posting states a salary range of "$60k-$85k depending on relevant experience".
