At Ignite Social Media, we don’t just talk about great workplace culture—we live it. And now, we have two national awards to prove it! We’re thrilled to share that both Ad Age and Ragan PR have named Ignite Social Media a Best Place to Work in 2025.

These recognitions are especially meaningful because they highlight what makes Ignite truly special: a team-first mentality, a collaborative spirit, and a culture where great work and great people thrive.

What Makes Ignite a #GreatWorkplace?

Winning these awards isn’t about fancy perks or trendy office spaces (though we do love our Pick-a-Perk and Freestyle Fridays programs). It’s about creating an environment where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to contribute every day.

CEO Jim Tobin puts it best:

“A great workplace isn’t just about benefits—it’s about building a culture where people can grow, contribute, and love what they do. We know that better works come from collaboration, but collaboration happens when people feel they can be their best selves.”

With an average employee tenure of over seven years, it’s clear that our team isn’t just sticking around—they’re thriving.

Agency President Deidre Bounds adds:

“We prioritize a workplace where people feel they can stay, evolve, and do their best work. When you work in social media marketing, you have to have an ‘always learning’ mentality.”

#GreatWorkplace is a Core Value

As “the original social media agency”®, we’ve been leading the industry since 2007, helping brands navigate the ever-changing social landscape. But just as importantly, we’ve built a workplace where people want to be, and that’s something worth celebrating.

One of our core values is #greatworkplace. We have high standards for our work, but also feel like it’s the job of the management team to make sure there aren’t any barriers to doing that great work. 

To our current (and past) team members—thank you for making Ignite what it is. And to anyone looking to join a nationally recognized, award-winning workplace… we’re always looking for great talent. 😉
