Pros
I previously worked as an Account Manager for Excite Media and feel very grateful that I had the opportunity to work for such a great agency. I wanted to gain agency-side experience, as I'd always worked client-side in digital marketing, but was quite apprehensive about the move. The whole EM were so welcoming when I started and it quickly became clear that it truly was a little family! The expertise of the team is clear, across the different areas of web dev, SEO and PPC in particular, but there's an awesome holistic view of digital marketing which makes for a great learning environment. The culture at Excite is second-to-none. The team is so supportive and love to have fun as well. Management make a real effort to organise work activities to bond the team and foster culture, which is awesome! I think it speaks volumes about the business when you see that most staff members have been here for years. I had some of best work experiences with Excite and am very keen to watch where the company goes in the future!
Cons
No cons on Excite Media itself. Working agency-side has its own challenges, for example when relatively smaller projects can end up taking a significant amount of time and mental capacity, but I think EM works very hard to identify right-fit clients and are very transparent if they believe it's not the right fit. Seriously love the honesty they foster with clients where they will be honest if they believe we can't service their needs and will even go the extra mile to recommend other resources. I don't think you'd find that at many other agencies!
