One of my favorite things about working at a smaller, close-knit agency is the fact that you can\u2019t hide. This could be the project manager in me, but it\u2019s kind of great being able to take two steps and bother any member of the team with my questions (They love it!).<\/p>\n

This being my first job out of college, I wasn\u2019t sure what to expect. I knew very little about the differences between big agency vs. small agency and how those differences can become deal breakers for certain individuals searching for a new position.<\/p>\n

Throughout my almost two years here, I\u2019ve learned quite a bit and have found working in a small team has given me the opportunity to use skill sets I wasn\u2019t even sure I had.<\/p>\n

Collaboration<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Being able to wear many hats at a small agency is a must. You learn to help out where you\u2019re needed; even if it\u2019s something you know very little about. Kind of like when I typed my first line of code a month ago \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Yes, there will be times when you\u2019re out of your comfort zone, but practicing and learning something new will help out your team when deadlines are tight and make you even more of a valuable asset.<\/p>\n

If you were to tell me two years ago I would be writing tweets and blog posts for Redonk\u2019s social media accounts\u2026 well I would have laughed. Not because I don\u2019t like it, but because I wouldn\u2019t have expected to be trusted to produce relevant content. Now it\u2019s one of my favorite things to catch up on when there\u2019s downtime!<\/p>\n

Involvement<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Being able to work on a project from start to finish is extremely rewarding. Where at a larger agency I might have involvement with one aspect of the project and never see it again, here I get to see the entire process go down.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also cool that at one point, everyone from the team has had some sort of involvement with the outcome. Whenever the project is complete, everyone is collectively excited to see the end result.<\/p>\n

Client Relationships
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Bigger often time means more process, more approvals, and more hurdles along the way. At a small agency our goal is to understand the client\u2019s creative needs, develop a plan, and execute an efficient process in order to meet their deadline.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re incredibly accessible to our client\u2019s and passionate about creating great customer experiences.<\/p>\n

Culture<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We\u2019re all passionate about producing great work. We all want to be here, and we all want to see the agency succeed. We also take pride in going out for team lunches and having the occasional beer o\u2019clock Fridays when it\u2019s been a busy week.<\/p>\n

Everyone here contributes a lot to the team, and although we may be small we produce big work!<\/p>\n
