About the position
As one of the only independent, 100% employee-owned and majority women-owned agencies in the world, we pride ourselves on doing exceptional and exciting work. Our success is driven by a team of wildly talented individuals who are committed to both personal and professional growth. We foster a casual yet vibrant workplace where diversity and inclusion are at the forefront of our values.

We offer comprehensive health insurance that includes medical PPO, dental, vision, and life coverage. Our workplace is designed to promote wellness, featuring workout classes on the office roof when possible, and a Mental Wellness Resource Group. We also partner with ClassPass to provide our employees with a monthly subsidy of credits and a discounted rate for fitness classes. Our culture is enriched by recognition celebrations, happy hours, outings, parties, and team-building events, along with monthly breakfast clubs that rotate among team members, ensuring that food and drinks are always part of the experience. Our office is pet-friendly, allowing four-legged friends to join us, and we have an employee resource group that focuses on health and wellness, diversity and inclusion, and sustainability initiatives, including composting. We utilize the latest technologies, such as Archie the Robot, to keep remote employees connected, and we have recreational facilities including arcade games, a Ping-Pong table, and even a punching bag. In 2023, Agency EA became 100% employee-owned, which means that every employee has a vested interest in the success of our work, fostering a culture of passion, dedication, and accountability. We also offer a 401k retirement plan with contribution matching, customized career tracks, and funding for professional development. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is evident, as we are a certified WBE (Women Business Enterprise) and 65% of our managerial and supervisory positions are filled by women and minorities. We partner with vendors and suppliers who share our commitment to diversity and inclusion, and we have company-wide initiatives led by an EDI Resource Group that spans education opportunities and thoughtful partnerships with non-profit organizations.
