Red Wagon

Red Wagon is a Chicago-based recruitment agency specializing in identifying and placing "evolutionary" talent across marketing, content, and entertainment industries. Founded and led by Seth Wolk, the agency focuses on helping clients hire talent that drives business evolution rather than making static or disruptive hiring decisions.

The agency positions itself at the center of the interconnected worlds of Marketing, Content & Entertainment, with particular expertise in creative, digital, strategy, and media & measurement roles.

The firm's approach centers on finding "evolutionary" talent - professionals who help organizations evolve and stay ahead of changing media and technology curves while avoiding poor hiring decisions. Red Wagon serves as an extension of clients' recruitment functions and brand representatives, getting deeply embedded in understanding organizational needs and culture.

On the candidate side, Red Wagon offers skill-mapping and career counseling services to ensure proper role placement and career development. The agency recognizes that all their clients share common goals: creating compelling content, crafting connected brand experiences, engaging consumers to create advocacy and relevance, and using data for competitive advantage.
