Not for me - Brand Coordinator bei Miranda Creative: Mitarbeiterbewertung

This agency is dedicated to its community - not just in it for the dollar - a community of employees and clients. I joined to support the team remotely and felt as though I'd always been there (even via Zoom) in a very short time. With over ten years of various agency experiences, it's refreshing to see an owner who goes above and beyond for her employees while tending to client relationships. New spirits are encouraged to shine, and those who've been in the industry for a while are challenged to go outside of their comfort zones. Growing families, life's unexpected happenings, and even National Grilled Cheese Day show how much understanding and support for work/life balance resides at 18 Elm Street. This is not an agency run by fear; it's run by communication with care.

Agency life - in general - is not meant for everyone. You need to be able to juggle different clients in different industries working towards very different goals, sometimes in the span of an hour. Clients can be demanding, and fires pop up, but when it's truly a team effort, as it is at Miranda Creative, it becomes less of an issue. She worries about overall reputation, NOT her own ego. Sure, the owner can be a little quirky, but that's a must for the level of success and growth that she's been able to accomplish. And well, it's generally delightful to see what drives her spirit. Many cons of working at an agency aren't present here because leadership pays attention and actually listens. If things get to be too much, speak up! Everyone is ready to drop what they're doing to support their colleagues - including the owner. Even as a consultant, I've not felt this appreciated as an employee... maybe ever...

The agency director is a true creative. She can meet with a potential client, quickly assess their status, needs and opportunities and drop a bunch of relevant ideas on the table. If you're starting out in this business, being in on meetings is an education. The culture is supportive and the staff are very talented. Agency leadership in general is devoted to best practices and dedicated to working in the most agile and efficient framework. Leadership is also understanding and accommodating to needs outside the workplace. The founder provides a significant level of pro bono and consulting to nonprofits and fundraising agents in the community at large. Miranda Creative is often unrecognized for this, because the agency doesn't try to profit from its community-building work. Nonetheless, this is a business that helps people, Even when it's not getting paid.

The director is used to having to do everything on her own, which speaks to her strengths and vision as an entrepreneur. There needs to be a mid-level management structure in place that enables her to step back and trust her people. The agency is pursuing both this and enhanced audience development tools and strategies for clients.
