Pros

TradeMark has a great company culture. Your co workers will be some of the best people and your best friends for life. They do cool stuff like segway tours and dog walking at the pound or volunteering at Meals on Wheels.

Cons

Too much volatility at this agency. TradeMark just laid off over 25% of its staff, after acquiring another small company and losing some important accounts. The work also doesnt really challenge skilled workers. Its pretty simple stuff. Compensation is low compared to other opportunities.

Thank you for the kind words about company culture as well as your thoughts about the work and the company direction. The layoff this year was the first in our 17-year history - and something we don't expect to repeat. This challenge came on the heels of the merger, but was not the result of the merger. We value your feedback about the work, and are disappointed to hear that you did not feel challenged. This is not something routinely heard from other staff and I would like to have the opportunity to make improvements. I would appreciate hearing more detail and hope that you reach out directly to tell me more about your particular experience. The merger added marketing and brand strategy to our portfolio. This means that we will be able to provide a greater range of services to our clients. Getting in to projects at the ground floor - with marketing strategy - will enhance our ability to make a difference for our clients. Now, we're positioned to take clients from big picture strategy & design - all the way through to an effective, well-executed, and supported site or online app. It's true that we have some work to do to update our outreach and our own brand position to reflect these additional services - but we are on our way in that effort and are looking forward to the new opportunities it provides. All my best, Andrea

Pros

• Friendly coworkers • Remote, people-first culture • Meaningful work • Excellent work/life balance and great PTO • Professional Development

Cons

You could likely find higher-paying or more aesthetically-driven design work elsewhere. That said, the projects at Mighty Citizen support meaningful causes, and the work–life balance is excellent, especially compared to traditional agency environments.

Pros

Meaningful client work and smart, collaborative coworkers. The company promoted a close-knit, mission-driven culture that many employees valued.

Cons

The agency conducted two rounds of layoffs in 2025, each impacting roughly 10% of staff. While leadership was generally transparent about broader business conditions, the scale of the reductions still came as a gut punch to employees. The agency’s ongoing public and online emphasis on culture and thought leadership feels incongruent with that experience.
