A Culture Centered Around Collaboration—And a Little Controlled Chaos

At Blue Compass, we’ve eliminated the me-my-I mentality that often dominates agency life and replaced it with the we-our-us method. We don’t take the credit for a coworker’s job well done—we’re the first to congratulate them for the value they bring to our team.

Blue Compass: An Office Job That Doesn’t Feel Like An Office Job

Somehow, getting work done feels good in a place like this. Our open door policy paves the way for constant collaboration and approachability for all members of our team. Even the leadership team can’t hide from our office pranks—nor would they want to! When it comes down to it, we come to the office because we enjoy each other’s company and the work we get to do together every day. We thrive on teamwork and believe easy access to each other’s ideas is our greatest asset.

Our team members make themselves at home, often cozying up on the couches in our many community spaces to get a fresh perspective away from the confines of a desk. It’s not uncommon to find a furry friend curled up close by, either. The best part of being a dog-friendly workplace is a built-in friend from day one. Interested in our open digital marketing job positions (and potentially working alongside our digital bark-eters)? Apply today!

The Average Blue Compass Employee Has Been With Us 5 Years & Counting

The digital landscape is constantly changing, but the people we navigate these shifting trends with remain steady, a testament to the culture we’ve built since we got started in 2007. Our team learns together, grows together and stays together because we truly love working together.

The culture encourages you to both come out of your shell but also be 100% true to yourself. You can keep your head down and people will respect and honor that, but to really benefit from the Blue Compass culture you have to lean into the chaos a little and stretch your comfort zone.

-Jay Snyder, Senior Digital Marketing Strategist

My favorite memories of BC are when half the office ends up eating lunch together almost every day. Being able to enjoy a meal with my coworkers is something I never thought would feel important.

-Dexter Jacobs, Front-End Developer & Design Specialist

No two days are the same—I never feel stagnant and am continually challenged. I also enjoy the flexibility provided in trying out a new process or idea. I'm constantly learning new things and being granted the opportunities to do so. Everyone is so willing to share and train each other on different aspects of their role. I love being able to help a team member out because of something new I learned.

-Jordan Beard-Hopkey, Senior Account Executive

I love how much everyone supports each other. It’s one of our pillars, but it’s so true—if someone is feeling overwhelmed, they’re not encouraged to just ‘get over it.’ Someone is always there to step in and help out.

-Hannah Burke, Digital Marketing Specialist

Blue Compass operates with an open mind. It pushes us to be more creative in how we solve problems for our clients but also allows our team to grow in new ways we never would have imagined.

-Stephanie Wubben, Director of Business Development

Guided By Values Of Teamwork, Talent & The Importance Of Ample Time Together To Recharge

Our co-founders built Blue Compass around five key pillars that continue to shape who we are today. One thing we’ve made crystal clear is our values are more than just writings on a wall. No offense to our dedicated wall that does in fact spell out our values, but it’s our team that brings these values to life everyday. At Blue Compass:

Inspired Inside Jokes

We’ve proudly perfected the balance between professionalism and pranks. Consider this your fair warning, because we go from “hired” to hijinks real quick. Our frequent team gatherings in the Compass Cafe (beginning with our “Cookie Time” tradition on your first day!) and our West48 Conference Center have inspired some of our best memories.

Timeless Team Traditions

Every summer at Blue Circle Games, four teams come together to compete in a series of challenges designed to test our limits, and only one emerges with the ultimate prize. In other words, we all dust off our plank walking and pool noodle skills requiring no athletic ability whatsoever to compete for bragging rights. But we still take it very seriously, and it’s one of the best days at Blue Compass.

Meaningful Memories Made

Of course, some of the best moments in the office have come as a complete surprise (and we’re not talking about hiding inside a giant birthday cake and surprising a fellow team member, though that has happened). Whether packing a party bus for Employee Appreciation Day or challenging employees to a trick shot competition on our roof, our leadership team is always finding new ways to take their appreciation to new heights (literally).

Our Digital Marketing Job Positions Come With A Portfolio To Be Proud Of

At the end of the day, we strive to provide a clear digital direction by serving as a strategic extension of each client’s team. Thankfully, our relaxed environment allows us to refuel when needed so we never have to run on empty. We believe the hallmark of a healthy company culture is laughter, so taking time to enjoy moments of each day ensures we are always able to put our best efforts forward. Fun is our secret ingredient for improved focus, and it shows in the work we do for our clients.

From Fortune 500 companies to family businesses, our clients represent a broad range of industries and have diverse web development, search engine optimization (SEO) and digital marketing needs. All of our team members work on multiple client teams, allowing us to fully integrate with the niche markets of each client while still being able to apply what we learn to our other clients. No day at Blue Compass is the same, so we can confidently tell you there’s room to be challenged and continue to grow in our open digital marketing job positions.

The best part is we all bring something different to Blue Compass and to our client teams, so just by working together we are getting better at what we do. And what we do is pretty cool. We have the portfolio to prove it! (Which definitely comes in handy once your parents catch wind of how much fun we have at work and wonder whether you have a real job.)
