Pros

Working at Klik Media, I feel challenged everyday to do my best work, and feel a great sense of fulfillment when I can see the work I am doing having an immediate and direct impact on the growth and success of the business. It's an incredible feeling to know that I have the opportunity to move the needle so much, and super fun and cool to have the empowerment and environment to create things that will help us in the long run.

Cons

There is a tremendous amount of responsibility, and onus is on the individual to take the initiative and drive results. As in any start up, it's a fast-paced environment; strategies & approaches are subject to change given the shifting strategies of our clients at any given time. Working at Klik requires a ton of initiative and tenacity, and being ok pushing the envelope on digital marketing, and your own understanding of specific facets of the industry. You have to be a true self-starter, and that at times means being ok working super hard and super smart to drive the result you need and want.

Pros

At Klik you get to be part of the very initial stages of a fast-growing ad agency and help build the company from the ground up. Each employee has a clear opportunity to provide value immediately, and the CEO has instilled a culture where innovation is encouraged and welcomed. Training is hands-on and direct (as opposed to the large training classes in the corporate world where the material is mostly ignored), and employees at each level get started on client-facing work almost immediately. Klik provides an opportunity to learn, grow and make a direct impact not easily found at another company. Flexibility is also stressed (unlimited PTO) - mantra is as long as you're doing great work, you can do it on the schedule that works best for you.

Cons

Clear structure is not always in place in the work we're doing, leading to more ambiguous tasks and ad hoc views that need to be built. Standardized reporting that can scale has been a strong focus and something that we have drastically improved at since a year ago. Finding success at Klik requires you to be a self-motivated individual willing to take initiative to improve processes and suggest new ideas. It is not a role where the day-to-day is always the same and requires constant learning and pivoting to keep up. Benefits are lacking as is typical of a startup at this stage, but health insurance was added in past year and 401k match hopefully coming soon. Salaries competitive with industry to attract the best talent.
