Mediaura employees celebrated the arrival of a new hire. 

1. Describe your company culture in five words.

Innovative, fun, professional, experts, one-of-a-kind.

2. Tell us three specific ways you ensure all of your employees know they are valued.

Every month, employees volunteer to be our “culture czar.”

That person then gets to choose to share something they personally love doing with the whole team. It’s a way for employees to share more of themselves with the team while strengthening the team as a whole.

We have a weekly team meeting where we share praise for successful projects.

We have daily morning meetings where we discuss projects and tasks. At these meetings, every employee — whether they are directly on the project team or not — is asked to contribute their thoughts on the project.

3. What concrete steps do your senior leaders take to create a great work environment for all employees?

Leaders talk to every member of the team throughout the day in a positive manner to find out how things are going.

If an employee feels overwhelmed, the leadership will partner with them to help alleviate any stress or burden, contributing to project completion, brainstorming solutions, etc.

The leadership team at Mediaura is committed to creating a fun environment and areas of the office for team members to take breaks throughout the day and recharge. We know that when employees are happy and relaxed, they do their best work.

We strive to make sure that everyone is always in a positive mindset, and that when any issues do arise they are immediately addressed and do not linger.

The leadership works very hard to make every employee comfortable and know how much they are valued.

They work to establish a process for efficient/flawless work execution, provide weekly meetings for open discussions/feedback and provide a flexible work environment, understanding everyone works different.

4. Give us some specific examples of how your company creates opportunities for individual development and career growth at all levels of the company.

Every employee is allotted time through the day/week for personal enrichment.

Mediaura pays for employees to attend special events, classes or seminars that the employee feels will help them improve in their job.

All employees at Mediaura are cross-trained to further enrich their own skill sets and gain further insights into areas they would like to pursue or grow into. This also allows different departments to understand how each area contributes and fits into the process as a whole.

Once an employee expresses interest in a new department, they are partnered with the team leader of that area for mentorship.

As an employee’s skill set and contributions increase, their salary becomes reflective of that as well.

5. How would you describe your company in 30 seconds to someone you meet at a cocktail party?

Mediaura is a full-service digital agency specializing in innovative solutions and measurable results.

We are an award-winning team with global clients — everything from entrepreneurs to Fortune 500 organizations, from a wide variety of industries.

6. What are the most popular perks you offer to employees?

Flexible work schedule, a paid-time-off bank and a work environment that is tailored for their specific needs.

7. How does being a Best Place to Work affect your bottom line?

It reinforces what we know to be true and what we communicate to our team and potential new hires: This is more than just another job.
