A great place to work
|
|
Amazing professionals to work alongside and learn from. So many perks, too many to list out! Even in a (mostly) remote environment, they really go above and beyond to treat their employees well. DEI programming is on point. Moving more towards a hybrid work model, we'll soon get the best of both worlds - WFH and work from a sweet office space.
|
Not many cons. I do miss the comradery of the office community. This will happen soon enough.

Best PR Agency to Work For
|
|
This is a place that genuinely cares about its employees (a rarity at most PR firms), both personally and in terms of fostering a clear path for career development. Agency life is high stress but March's financial benefits and employee perks help to mitigate some of the negative effects of a fast paced work environment and also serves as an effective retention strategy for the company. Unlike many other agencies where high burnout and turnover is the norm, employees tend to have long careers here, especially by agency standards, because of the people-first culture.
|
Like at any agency, balancing a demanding workload across a diverse client base can be overwhelming at times.

An amazing place to grow
|
|
I started at March as an intern, and was quickly given a lot of experience and responsibility, alongside a lot of support, coaching and guidance from March. March is all about promoting from within and helping people develop the skill sets to become better, well-rounded PR pros. March has a very strong content and digital arm, and those people are often embedded on PR teams.
March also has a robust performance review, mentorship and skill development program. I ended up being able to move up the ranks and on to the management team in less than 7 years.
Throughout my time at March I had incredible experiences, getting to travel abroad, to major tech events like CES, and to work on some of the most exciting tech brands locally and across the US. March is very respected in the tech industry, with much of its business coming from referrals from current clients.
In terms of the people, I can’t say enough good things. The owners of the company genuinely care about each employee personally and professionally and are invested in their success. Some of my closest friends are current and former March employees.
I ended up moving on to try my hand at an in-house role, but have March to thank for developing me into the PR professional I am today.
|
Not much to say here. The work life balance can be tough, as is the case at any agency. However, if anyone’s workload is out of control, there is a huge effort made to fix it. And, as I was leaving, even more precautions were being put in place to get an even better birds eye view of a team member’s workload on a day to day basis.

Hard to Beat
|
|
March is an amazing collaborative agency environment. Employees here work extremely hard, but also get to play hard too. The work/life balance is exceptional, the benefits (can you say: duvet day!) are generous, and the clients are interesting and innovative.
|
None that I can think of. Honestly a smash bang fantastic place to work!

Amazing Place to Work
|
|
1. Great atmosphere in the office - everyone is very friendly, even the CEOs takes time to have drinks with the employees after hour every week.
2. The office provide amazing experience for interns. The interns do the same type of work as ACs.
|
The work gets interesting very often and you could be diving into the work and staying late without realizing it.

Great company for growing fast and exploring other interests
|
|
March gives people of all levels very high visibility with the amazing CEOs as well as the very smart, open and inspirational management team. Overall the culture is friendly and fun. There is a good amount of vacation days (15 to start plus a "duvet day"), flex time (you can work from 7:30am - 4pm if you're a morning person, 9:30 - 6 if you're not, or anything in between!) and working from home perks. Employees also have the freedom and flexibility to apply other interests to the company. If you want to explore photography, you can actually work for one of the clients. Videography, writing, design research - you name it and March will support you.
|
The clients can be too technical, which certainly make you feel challenged and intelligent but it may not appeal to the consumer PR-inclined person. You are forced to read a lot about tech, which does touch consumer issues quite a bit, but, depending on the client, those consumer issues may not be something you are concerned with on a regular basis. The hires need to be more strategic - there need to be more tech-inclined folks who are strong writers from the get-go, as writing is the only prerequisite necessary for PR. March can be too quick to promote some people and cause unrest.

More lower-level individuals would take a lot of burden off people as they move up and also create a strong camaraderie and culture. It would also allow for promotions of truly strong individuals into mid-management positions. Those in mid-management are critical to maintaining a positive culture, as they interface with the most people on a day-to-day basis. It may be worth setting up a booth at prestigious colleges around graduation time to get fresh talent.

Great People, Constructive Environment
|
|
March was my first job out of college and it was a great introduction to the working world. Martin and Cheryl did a fabulous job creating a positive "family" style environment - I loved my colleagues and I learned a ton on the job. Working in a small agency, I got to wear many hats. I was at March for three years and left to pursue something different - nothing to do with the company or the people.
|
Like any agency, life at March was fast paced and at times stressful. That's not a reflection of March specifically - it's a fact of life in the agency world.

Great Experience at March!
|
|
The culture at March is awesome. From the get-go everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful. I was provided helpful feedback and felt like I could ask anyone questions. Also, there are a lot of opportunities to get together with coworkers and socialize. Overall, it is a very bright and ambitious team. Workwise, I was able to get a ton of experience trying different projects. I learned a lot and enjoyed that instead of training, I learned through actually doing.
|
Definitely a fast-paced and intense environment, which I like but others might have more of a problem with. If you are willing to work hard it is a good fit.
