Whether you work in the Marketing team, PR team or Email Marketing team, everyone is extremely approachable and will make time for you. Everyone has the same goal, to achieve the best product or service for clients, but also to create an environment that is positive and fun. You can genuinely feel that everyone loves coming to work.”
