VTProDesign
ACRONYM is a creative firm that builds unreal experiences in the real world. We partner with ambitious brands to turn complex, slightly unhinged ideas into moments people actually feel — through strategic thinking, technical craft, and the kind of creative problem-solving that thrives on complexity. Serious work, unserious energy.
Inside the Company
Founded in the mid-2000s, ACRONYM started out in a small studio in East Los Angeles has since expanded to over 80+ employees. Our team works across the majority of North America but has also expanded to Europe, China, and the Middle East. In 2022, VTProDesign merged with global creative company BUCK, expanding our reach and reinforcing a shared focus on innovative, human-centered design. Our work is structured into three core areas: 1. Imagine – Concept development, narrative strategy, and multimedia design 2. Invent – Creative tech, robotics, custom engineering, and software development 3. Implement – Production, AV integration, project management, and fabrication ACRONYM has delivered large-scale experiences for clients like Google, Netflix, McDonald’s, Gatorade, Meta, Ray-Ban, and Heineken.

Our team is made up of designers, engineers, artists, and technologists who value creativity, hands-on problem-solving, and storytelling through cutting-edge technology. We emphasize emotionally resonant work and seamless integration of the digital and physical. We support open communication, experimentation, and cross-functional collaboration.

Opportunities
ACRONYM provides entry-level employees exposure to a range of disciplines, offering hands-on experience across multiple areas of creative technology and production.
Because of our project-based, high-touch workflow—particularly with big-name clients like Google and Netflix—entry-level talent has the opportunity to work alongside senior creatives and technologists. This can serve as an informal mentorship pipeline, offering real-world learning opportunities through direct involvement.
With our core philosophy—"no idea is unachievable"—we encourage experimentation and problem-solving. Entry-level team members are welcomed into this mindset, with chances to explore new tools, software, or techniques while learning on the job.
Following our merger with global creative company BUCK, ACRONYM is now part of a larger creative network as well. Working alongside our partners at BUCK, we offer internships and entry-level roles across various disciplines.
