I worked at Forthea for 2~ years (2016/17). I have been working in the digital marketing industry for two decades under multiple Presidents / CEOs. Chris Pappas is the most effective CEO I’ve worked under. He is extremely careful and calculated, most of all, he is the most considerate. He gave me the support and tools I needed to succeed.
The HR team at Forthea does a fantastic job identifying, recruiting, and vetting the best team member for each role. The leadership team does a great job cultivating less experienced team members.
The agency core values create a fun, productive, professional environment. Continuous improvement. High professionalism. One for all. And, Drive for measurable results. I can still recite the core values to this day. I still live by these values. They are a part of Forthea’s DNA.
As a former department head I got to see behind the curtain, how things actually operate. I am happy to give kudos (or snaps) to every department at Forthea. The leadership team, managers, and staff members are first class.
If you are trying to solve a complex business challenge, Forthea is a great choice.
If you’re looking for a great place to build your career, Forthea is a great choice.
|
This isn’t a knock on the agency, at times, things may seem to move slow. This used to frustrate me. Looking back, I understand why certain decisions took longer than others. Be patient and trust that each level wants to do what is right for the Client and Agency.

Expand. Your type of agency is needed not just in Houston but across the US... across the world.
Revamp your business development tactics. Working with partners or larger media companies will open doors to clients who need your service. These larger media companies are still working with questionable digital partners. Most are desperately looking exactly what you offer, they just don't know that Forthea exists.
Keep pushing! I am still rooting for you guys!

Great Agency To Work For
|
|
- Laidback environment (causal dress code, snacks, nap room, scooters, ping pong)
- Work with great people who are experts in their field
- Recognition for achievement is made no matter how small
- Central location so commuting isn't too bad
- Your voice can be heard since the company is still small enough
|
- Communication is often an issue between upper management and the actual people doing the client work
- Compensation is lower than average when comparing to other agencies
- Company policies and procedures change day to day, so consistency is lacking

Great Agency With Long Term Goals
|
|
Great team members with a ton of expertise in paid media and seo
Excellent and engaged clients
Challenging atmosphere (in a good way)
Work/life balance
Regular Jams (lunch and learns)
Training/professional development budget
Health & fitness budget is great
401k matching
CEO is extremely bright and truly cares about every single person
|
Communication can be an issue, especially during growing pains .
Not necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes it’s tough to be a “medium-size” agency.

Love working at Forthea!
|
|
One of Forthea's core values is "One for All" and everyone truly lives up to this standard. Company culture is fun! Management understands the importance of a work-life balance and provides benefits that help you pay your health & fitness expenses. You also get a training and development budget used towards conferences, courses, certifications, etc.
|
There are always delicious snacks, so during your first year you might get you "forthea 15."

2018 Will Be The Best Year Yet
|
|
Forthea is like a family rather than a workplace, especially after Hurricane Harvey. The amount of support that came from management and co-workers over those crazy few months further defined why Forthea is special and just a great place to work. Forthea cares about employees and wants to help every one of our clients succeed. No mailing it in or cashing client checks here. We provide value every time because we want to be the best.
|
Any cons that exist have been addressed and a plan is in place to resolve

Constant Improvement & Measurable Results
|
|
This is the best agency I have ever worked for. We get better each day and provide the best value in Houston digital marketing. Read our reviews all over the web. Look up our team on LinkedIN. We have real talent and real results. We don't have ownership writing fake reviews or bad mouthing former employees like many you'll see on Glassdoor.
|
Many agencies out there provide cookie-cutter campaigns and don't provide results or transparency. Unfortunately, they make real strategic partners like us look bad. In the end, you get what you pay for and it would be great if businesses understood that.

Exceptional Digital Marketing Agency
|
|
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Forthea grow from a small, unknown digital marketing start-up with a handful of employees to a strong force in the industry. To say the agency, its leadership and team, are impressive seems an understatement. Forthea sets high standards and works to exceed them.
Pros:
- Continuous opportunities for both personal and professional growth with company-provided books, tools, training conferences and more.
-A group of intelligent, driven professionals working to produce positive, profitable results for clients and the company.
- A friendly, caring team – good people, good culture.
- Challenging. Good enough is never good enough.
- Rewarding.
- Fun.
|
Traffic to and from the office - Many people live and work in Houston. Arrive early and stay late to avoid it.
