The Marketing Arm's culture is built on a simple premise: Give people great brands on which to work, great tools to work with, a process that nurtures the creative talent in everyone, and a mandate to keep the client's interests and initiatives first and foremost in everything we do. Our culture attracts and keeps great talent and allows us to deliver on our promise to our clients.
In a survey of our peers, The Marketing Arm consistently ranks among the highest of employee satisfaction, loyalty, and fun. We're also one of the best places to work, according to Workplace Dynamics. We recognize and reward our people through compelling activities, professional development, and open-sourced ideation that reminds us that good ideas can come from anyone.
mistake at the plate
Ah, the Grand Game. Nobody does Opening Day like The Marketing Arm. Each spring, we grab our favorite baseball caps, load onto busses, and head out to the ballpark to watch the Boys of Summer start their season. View Photos
in tha know
Designed to fuel our curiosity, our monthly "In tha Know" enlightenment sessions feature great work, industry news and trends, and stuff we find cool and innovative -- all in a fun, action-packed format.
spring break
Story has it, when he was a high school and college student, The Marketing Arm founder/CEO Ray Clark never went on Spring Break. He was busy working. Today, he rewards hard-working employees with a Spring Break trip of their choice, including airfare, lodging, and a little spending money.
tma tennis days
Nadal? Not so much. Serena? Sorry. But we still like to hit the courts a couple times a year for volley or two. Keeps the competitive juices flowing! View Photos
mistake at the lake
Sure, we have Summer Fridays. Nice, but not particularly memorable. After all, it's just cutting out a little early for the weekend. So once every summer since 1999, we rent a big ol' houseboat, a couple of Jet Skis, and a ski boat and hit the lake for a day of water recreation and relaxation. Beats running errands on a Friday afternoon in August.
journey to greatness
When it comes to promoting values, some companies pass out mousepads. Not us. We sent 10 TMAers on a legendary cross-country journey in search of "greatness."
Art Talk
Part of our Step to Greatness initiative, Art Talk is designed to inspire, educated and elevate the agency by bringing in local multimedia/new media artists to share their work in a solo exhibition.
lunch roulette
You don't have to be a savvy gambler to win at our version of roulette. That's because with The Marketing Arm's Lunch Roulette, everyone's a winner. We match you with four other staff members and send you off to lunch (on us, of course). A mid-day meal, a little chit-chat -- c'mon, give it a spin.
holiday party
You're probably thinking, "A holiday party? Big deal. Every company has a holiday party..." Fair enough. But what other company gives you a chance to re-live your high school prom or channel your inner rock star for the night? Check out a few pics here.
bowling day
Some call it "Mistake at the Lanes." To others, it's "This is How We Roll." No matter the name, the game's the same. And when it comes to bowling, our body English is a little rough. Crankers and Creepers. Crawlers and Crooked Arms. They're all here. And it's not pretty.
cookie day
Who doesn't love cookies, right? It's our love for these delightful baked goods that's behind Cookie Day, that marvelous day when we welcome our kids into the office and spend the afternoon decorating sweet confections with frostings, toppings, and other high-calorie decorations.
