We have a wide range of clients in all kinds of industries, which makes for an interesting mix of work. Plus, we use a variety of digital marketing tactics. I appreciate the opportunity to develop my expertise in email, PPC and SEO, online media and many other areas. The benefits are awesome and help make up for the hard work. On top of health/dental/vision/life/401K, we have a compressed work week option and 4+ weeks of PTO and paid holidays. There are fun quarterly activities planned for the staff. There’s a greater emphasis on professional development now than ever before, which is nice. For a medium-sized agency, we have a good amount of long-term employees. It’s also great that we have so many recent graduates working here. It keeps the culture vibrant. I really respect my co-workers and the agency administrators and hope to see 90octane take over the world!

The work has ebbs and flows. Sometimes work picks up so much that the pace seems hard to sustain. Finding new ways to support each other during these times would be a good idea. The agency has grown considerably, but it would be great to see it even bigger to allow for more professional advancement opportunities.
