UM 11th on BRW list of best places to work, seven media companies in top 50
Media agency UM Australia has achieve 11th place in BRW’s 2013 list of the 50 Best Places to Work ranking well ahead of media companies on the list.
Next on the list was online media monitoring company Meltwater group which came 24th on the list, followed by media agency OMD at 39th place, Octagon Australia at 43rd, Match Media at 45th, Mediacom at 46th and Adconion at 47th.
“I’m enormously proud of my management team for fostering such a positive work culture and keeping our staff so engaged,” said Mat Baxter CEO of UM.
“We recognised that developing our culture and enthusiasm in a period of very strong growth would be a big challenge, as we have seen companies in similar circumstances rush for growth at the expense of their corporate culture and morale. We have managed to buck that trend.”
Seven out of the top 50 companies to work for in Australia are media agencies. That’s amazing. Any creative agencies?
Octagon is creative/experiential/sponsorship.. and proud to be on the list amongst all these media folks!
Was this the list Ikon were top 10 or top 20 for a couple of years? or was that a different best places list?
@Pascoe the same list – seems like Ikon has dropped off all together
