As one of the Managing Partners at Right Source Marketing, I feel it important to set the record straight on this particular employee’s perception of the company. There are so many inaccuracies, that I figured the best way to respond was point by point:
Interesting Clients: The types of clients we work with vary from virtually every type of technology company, to financial services, health care, professional services, education and non-profit. All of these clients occupy a particular niche, and are highly considered purchases, meaning that the prospective buyer typically does a great deal of due diligence before making a buying decision. That makes our work extremely interesting, and requires key people on the Right Source Marketing team to be highly strategic.
Client Results: We pride ourselves on delivering client results. In the world of content-driven marketing, everything is measurable. That is why we deliver monthly reports to clients and stand behind the outcomes that our marketing delivers. We have quite a few clients that have been with us for multiple years, a few of which have been with us for 5+ years. For a 7-year-old company, that’s saying something.
Compensation and Support: Right Source Marketing is committing to hiring only the best talent, and have been successful in doing so. We recognize that in order to get and keep top talent, we need to compensate fairly and treat everyone with the respect they deserve. That is exactly what we do, which is why the company’s first employee (outside of the founders) is still with us close to 7 years after being hired. Many others have been with us for 4+ years, including two Marketing Coordinators that have advanced to more senior positions, one of our Managing Editors and our VP of Content Marketing. While we are highly selective when hiring, occasionally we have an employee that isn’t getting their work done in a high quality way. We do whatever we can to train and support them, but ultimately, if it’s not a good match, we need to part ways.
Business Managers: Right Source has a leadership team that consists of 5 people. One of the leaders has successfully started and sold two other businesses over a career that spans close to 4 decades. Two leaders ran their own businesses before starting Right Source Marketing. The other two leaders have had significant leadership roles at large ad agencies and media companies. We are certainly not perfect, but we are always working to improve ourselves and the company that we’re proud to have built together.
Vacations: We have a clear policy on PTO, and everyone is encouraged to take every day that’s coming to them. We only ask that work responsibilities be taken care of before and after vacations. There are those among us that like keeping up with responsibilities while on vacation, but that is not a requirement of the job.
Travel Expense Reimbursement: Every employee knows that we pay the legally required mileage whenever there is travel. As the guy that handles both HR and Finance, I can tell you that this is never questioned.
We Love Kids: We love having kids visit us at the office, which has happened frequently over the year. And while many of our company events are for adults only (like happy hours and holiday parties) we often have summer outings in which kids are invited.
