30 jobs in the PR and marketing world

Petite marketing firms are attracting immense talent.

LinkedIn data show that advertising and marketing execs are flocking to smaller organizations—but not for the reasons employers might think.

“People joining small organizations want challenge, impact, vision and culture, but not necessarily [higher] pay,” LinkedIn’s Job Switchers Global Report states.

Almost half of respondents said they wanted to join a smaller organization (fewer than 500 people) because there’d be more challenging work. Forty-seven percent said they were looking to make a greater impact on their organization’s success, 36 percent sought a better culture fit, and 24 percent simply wanted a change of pace.

To retain talent, a few well-known agencies are expanding their employee perks.

“Agencies are hoping chill vibes and happy hours will keep people from quitting,” Bloomberg reports. “Some recent additions to offices include: a barista at New York marketing agency Deutsch, beer at Ogilvy & Mather, and the ever-present ping-pong table at Interpublic’s McCann subsidiary.”

Although larger agencies might have a greater capacity for offering enticing perks, LinkedIn data show that most professionals aren’t taking the bait. Instead of unlimited vacation and free food, marketers and advertisers say they want job security and advancement opportunities.

From LinkedIn’s marketing solution’s blog:

Among nine industries that compete directly for the same talent, ad agencies ranked last when it came to perceptions of its “work/life balance” and “long-term strategic vision.” The agency sector ranked next-to-last in “compensation and benefits,” “strong career path,” “job security,” and “values employee contributions.”

If you’re an executive who’s thinking a smaller outfit might better suit your needs, consider an associate producer position with “experimental marketing agency” MKG.
