Thanks for leaving us a review and we really value your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy working at the company. To clarify, yes, we are an agency that does both long term work and project work. Our founder has always believed in supporting our team through benefits such 100% health, dental and vision insurance as well as funds towards career related learning and merit-based promotions. We agree that our value set PROUD (Proactive, Reliable, Outstanding, Useful and Dedicated) was lost during a previous growth phase, but we’ve made a return to that and it has reinvigorated our culture. Over the course of the past year, the team has collectively focused in on the development of process and committed to its role in project management. We’ve improved our efficiency considerably and it is the direct result of feedback such as yours. Therefore, thanks again for your feedback.
• Fascinating clients and huge projects on the cutting edge of SEO, AI, and content marketing. • An encouraged learning environment with constant growth, resources, and support to try new strategies. • No micromanagement. A mature business that allows you to self-manage, produce, and deliver. • Great perks - they walk the walk. I was able to take parental leave after the birth of my daughter and hit the ground running when I returned. • Work-life balance. I can spend time with my family and not feel guilty about leaving work behind.
Cons
• Not necessarily cons, but if you aren't a self-starter or prefer to disappear into a bigger team, this might not be the right fit. • You need to be proactive to receive feedback sometimes.
Super, super intellectual group of people. Most of the employees that work here have come from some of the largest and most prestigious agencies. Their is a nice mix of people who each have expertise in all areas of marketing, e.g.: content strategy & development, marketing development, strategic roadmap development, brand awareness, lead generation, and social monitoring. Working with such a high-level group of people, we were able to get things done quickly and accurately, leaving a lasting impression on our clients.
Most of the brands Mike and team work with are fortune 500. They have a nice mix of companies in each vertical making our offerings very attractive to brands looking to innovate and differentiate.
Cons
Long hours. Like any other agency, you're working around the clock; however, the team is very talented and the reward is even more powerful!
