Vantaggi

BLKBX is a boutique marketing agency in Hollywood, and in the time I worked there we went from 18 people to about 30 with room to hire lots more. Any company growing that fast is going to have some challenges, but BLKBX management is loyal to their employees and dedicated to respecting those people who helped them grow their business. When I worked there, the staff was very close-knit and felt like family. We spent lots of time together on weekends, late nights, and after work just because we genuinely liked each other. BLKBX is very conscious about hiring people who fit with the culture - they have a "no jerks" rule that should be standard in Hollywood!

Svantaggi

Working in advertising (especially social and digital) means long hours and late nights. BLKBX is no different. Burnout is a thing.

Vantaggi

• The greater team (producers, designers, social, etc) were a great bunch of people who really wanted to make great creative and cutting edge marketing materials. No matter how passionate they were, there were always roadblocks from the most senior management/founders, who consistently made terrible decisions - decisions that were bad for morale and bad for business. • Team bonding/commiserating due to said issues • Brief dog-friendly office. This was also vetoed after fleeting joy was had. • Standing desks • Filter coffee provided • Free paper-clips (limit 5 per year)

Svantaggi

There were some big personalities and some big ideas in this place that were consistently shut down by senior management. There were constant roadblocks to project success and growth of the company, and the most intelligent and thoughtful opinions were not listened to. Decisions were made regardless of detailed strategies and dedicated time put in by talented employees, which lead to widespread burn-out and general frustration. While senior management may have had "good intentions", good intentions don't mean you actually know how to run an advertising agency. This was consistently obvious by the choices being made that would surprise the team. A great company is the product of it's employees, and unfortunately this wasn't realized at BLKBX.
