Former Employee - Client Managerin Fortitude Valley
Doesn't Recommend
Neutral Outlook
I worked at SponsoredLinx full-time for less than a year
Pros
The people - they know when and how to have a good time, and the other CMs are great.
Cons
Very little training was provided. I was an "expert" after less than a week of employment, having never worked in marketing before. More time was spent on how to stop clients cancelling than on the technical work and ongoing training. There was also no avenues for staff to safety express concern without having a target on them.
Advice to Management
Invest more in your people. Listen to the feedback from staff and implement their suggestions. Lend more weight to ongoing development.
I worked at SponsoredLinx full-time for more than a year
Pros
Commission Rates - Cool Office - Great Culture - Pay Rates - Team Building (super fun stuff most days). My role was great as a stable, full time gig. As someone who was looking to save to build a house this role was perfect. As I said stable, and with the commission scheme, if I put in extra work it provided me extra savings to go towards that build.
Cons
While I wouldn’t personally consider this a con, when starting up with this place a lot of the reviews concerned me. Once starting however I can see that the issue most these reviews had were that they probably weren’t the correct fit to be in a sales office. Sales isn’t for the faint hearted and it takes a lot of resilience and a certain attitude/personality. You have to be insanely motivated to sit down and run through...

Positive Outlook
I worked at SponsoredLinx full-time for more than a year
Pros
- Great place to get your foot in the door for digital marketing
- Most people climb the salary ladder fast.
- Amazing office space
- regular special event days with delicious platters
- You'll gain great skills for the future for dealing with heavy workloads, time management, conflict resolution.
- team leaders and colleagues are so supportive of each other.
Cons
- Clients that come through aren't properly qualified, aren't financially prepared to invest or have just been flat out lied to from the sales team. CM'S have to then spend time re-selling to clients when they should be working on campaigns.
- Company is less client focused, and more focused on about how much revenue you can bring in, how much you can upgrade in management fees, and about coming up with any strategy...
