What Makes Corporate Ink Great: Insights from Our Team
Corporate Ink has had a stellar year so far, winning three prestigious awards for the second year in a row from the Boston Business Journal, Ragan’s, and most recently, Inc.!
You’ve heard from the award committees. And you heard from Corporate Ink president, Greg. Now for some insights from our Inkers themselves on what makes Corporate Ink so special.
- Team-Centric Environment
Our team-centric environment fosters collaboration, mutual respect, and genuine camaraderie:
“The thing I enjoy most about working at Corporate Ink is the level of trust we’ve built amongst employees. We don’t believe in micromanaging, counting work hours, or limiting time off. Our people were hired for a reason – they are the best of the best – and they always get the job done. There’s a peace in knowing that everyone will always pull their weight and do amazing work. It’s even better that we can do it when we want and how we want without judgment!”-Victoria Stevenson, VP
“These accolades really reaffirm my decision to join this team. I wanted a genuinely team-centric environment where I’d be supported and grow but make friends at the same time, and I’ve found that here at CI!” -Emily Ball, Assistant Account Executive
“I get asked all the time about what has led me to stay at Corporate Ink for ten years. My answer every time: The people and culture. My colleagues are my friends. The culture we’ve built is supportive, energetic, and hyper-focused on what is in the best interest of employees and clients.” – Abigail Holmes, VP
- Personal and Professional Growth
Supporting personal and professional growth is integral to our philosophy. We provide numerous opportunities for development, from training sessions to personalized growth plans:
“CI supports my professional development by giving me a voice in what I want to learn and develop. I can be an active participant in shaping my career path.”-Victoria Stevenson, VP
“CI helps me get involved into different PR and marketing aspects that I may not have been doing beforehand…The trainings, promotional track, and one-on-one meetings with my manager have helped me grow.”-Ella Williams, Assistant Account Executive
“I would never have the opportunity to take on huge sales pitches if I did not work at CI. It has been challenging but so rewarding professionally to find the balance between doing sales and typical day-to-day client work. It’s made me a better professional by a lot.”-Jake Scearbo, Account Manager.
“A great part about working here is that everyone really takes into account what parts of the job you love the most and are the most skilled at. Whatever that may be, they allow you to really master that skill, and have even created new positions for colleagues who have found an area of the work that they really want to focus on!” -Emily Ball, Assistant Account Executive
- Recognition and Value
Corporate Ink may be recognized by prestigious organizations, but our Inkers already practice recognition and appreciation every day. Our employees feel valued through various initiatives and practices, reflecting our ongoing commitment to excellence:
“I feel valued when I have my manager check-ins, when I am shouted out, and when I am on a team that gets a win.”-Ella Williams, Assistant Account Executive
Personalized growth plans, our personal relationships with our managers, and the way leadership is very communicative [makes me feel valued here at Corporate Ink]” Jake Scearbo, Account Manager
“Flex Fridays make me feel valued because it’s Corporate Ink showing me the company respects my out-of-work priorities and encourages my happiness.”- Victoria Stevenson, VP
“The mentorship programs we have in place make me feel very valued. Growth is very important to me in my career journey, and I think that CI has done a great job providing the support we need to grow.”-Emily Ball, Assistant Account Executive
- Walking the Talk
At Corporate Ink, we don’t just talk about being a people-first agency; we embody it in every aspect of our work culture. As one of our team members shared:
“[These award wins] are a validation that we are not all talk. Multiple external organizations recognize what we are doing is special, it’s not easily replicable and it’s what makes us unique in PR.”-Jake Scearbo, Account Manager
“I’ve worked for many agencies in my career, and Corporate Ink is the only one that truly ‘walks the talk’. We not only say that our mission is to be a people-first agency… we also show it with our actions. Leadership encourages all employees to share their insights on happiness, both personally and professionally. In doing so, our agency has incorporated various health and well-being activities to support all employees. Additionally, if a process/approach to the way we work isn’t working, Leadership looks for ways to fix it. If employees share ideas for new ways to get our jobs done, Leadership strongly considers these ideas and will implement the ones that make sense for our business. Corporate Ink evolves every year to embody what it means to be truly people-first, which is why I’m proud to work for this organization.”-Anonymous
