Justworks 'Bossface' Campaign by Circus Maximus Humorously Shows The Cost of Being a Boss

Justworks, the innovative HR, benefits, payroll and compliance startup for SMBs, and its AOR Circus Maximus today launched the newest iteration of their award-winning collaboration in the integrated campaign “Bossface.” The campaign is the next installment building on the “work fearlessly” mantra.

Justworks and Circus Maximus use vivid photography to humorously reflect the expressions of business-people masking the struggles of managing their businesses by putting on a brave face to their employees. You can check out some of the campaign’s imagery attached, which is running as OOH, digital display, :15 second films, direct mail, and on social.

Justworks aims to make entrepreneurs’ lives easier by taking away the painful and paperwork-laden elements of running a business so they can focus on what matters most.

Known for using humour and levity to bring his creative to life, Circus Maximus Executive Creative Director Ryan Kutscher explains: “Justworks’ platform addresses the real stress and struggle business owners and managers feel. All of them want to put on this brave face, #bossface, but it’s damn hard, Justworks knows precisely how hard and helps solve it. Bossface is also common, you might have bossface right now.”

He continues: “Candor is a big part of the Justworks brand. Humor, respect, and honesty in addressing the elephant in the room defuses some of the stress, which is exactly what Justworks does for businesses.”
