Elite SEM Ranked #1 Best Place to Work by Ad Age
Recognized for culture, flexibility, and putting people first - always
NEW YORK, Jan. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Elite SEM, a performance-driven digital marketing agency, ranked #1 today in the 2019 Best Places to Work survey by Ad Age, in the larger company category of 200+ employees.
This award recognizes agencies that are leading the pack where it matters most to employees: benefits, inclusion, and employee development. 2019 rankings are determined by an analysis of survey responses from employees. Scoring covered six key satisfaction areas: benefits, company culture, employee development, company environment, engagement, and perks.
"Culture is not about ping pong tables, game rooms, and free lunch - those are just perks of a great company," says President Zach Morrison. "Culture is a set of values that are created and shared amongst the entire organization, that they embody and experience on a daily basis."
Elite is known for a culture of feedback, transparency, and empowerment, where each individual contributes to the overall culture and the success of the business.
"Everyone is involved in creating, maintaining, and evolving our culture," says Morrison. "It's then leadership's responsibility to steward that culture and make sure it aligns with the company's values."
The key to Elite's cultural success? The team's adaptability with the changing workforce. This recognition follows a series of acquisitions for Elite over the past year, including social advertising agency OrionCKB, email marketing and creative agency Email Aptitude, and Amazon-focused ecommerce agency CPC Strategy. Through this rapid growth, Elite has maintained its focus on company culture.
"Elite has always shined as an innovative agency that puts its people first and gets great results for clients," says Nii Ahene, cofounder and COO of recently acquired CPC Strategy. "With Amazon being such a hot commodity, CPC Strategy had a lot of suitors. Elite cinched the deal for us because they are so aligned with us culturally."
Previously named Ad Age Small Agency of the Year: Best Agency Culture, Elite has since surpassed 500+ employees, bumping them up into the Large Agency category.
