Single Grain reviews

Single Grain is a remarkable powerhouse of an agency that punches far above its weight for its size. The concentration of talent in its media department is unrivaled in the digital media space, and is directly attributable to the strength of Single Grain's values-based culture, intrepid leadership, and the sheer quality of individuals who comprise the team. Single Grain focuses on quality of work above all else, and is located at the polar opposite of the agency spectrum from "mill" type agencies which overload low-experience employees with 50+ accounts each where only the squeakiest wheels get the grease. This focus on genuine client growth and achievement of business objectives allows Single Grain to work with several big-logo clients, many of which have become friends and avid referrals for the agency over time. Media managers can expect a "full load" of no more than eight "average size" accounts in their standard workflow, though this can fluctuate with normal business cycles. Education and personal growth is a massive priority within Single Grain. All employees have access to a litany of resources to help further their skill sets. The work itself is also a phenomenal teacher, and media managers find themselves rapidly growing into experts not only in rendering the digital media service, but also in client relationship management, account management & business planning, data science, market research, consulting, and communications. At Single Grain, clients are always serviced by the actual individuals who service the digital media accounts, not a talking head or account manager. Leadership is in good harmony with individual team members, and personal growth trajectories are well attended to by direct managers. Management is never overbearing, and a healthy amount of structure is in place to keep employees focused and motivated. Technology is generally well aligned to help serve workers, instead of workers serving the technology. Culture is at the forefront of everything that happens at Single Grain, and employees do not experience a single day where they forget where they're working. The team itself is diverse, frighteningly smart, astonishingly non-political, and very well-balanced in its individual capabilities and eccentricities. There are values-based cross-team performance incentives, weekly team lunches, eight flexible remote work days per month, and frequent team health and recreational events. Employment benefits are exceptionally strong.

Single Grain is a company with growth and learning at it's core. It's determined to grow both as a company and a collection of individuals. The current growth rate is very exciting and future outlook very promising. The culture is casual and relaxed but performance expectations are high. That's good for those who want to work with an "A team" without all the pressure and stress of a firm 'trying' to make it with a B-team.
