About Catch Digital:
Catch Digital is a full-service growth agency, specializing in ROI-accountable lead capture and nurturing of customers through modern marketing technology implementation. Our approach involves breaking down the client’s customer acquisition journey, sales process, and re-engagement strategies to develop a scalable model that allows the business to focus on operations.
Catch’s client growth model takes a layered approach, where we design strategic initiatives to stack on top of each other over time until a full, robust growth marketing system is in place. As initiatives are strategized and executed, others will be optimized, decreasing the cost per customer acquired over time and increasing revenue.
Lastly, we’re here to take the BS out of digital marketing. With our first core value being transparency, we separate our fees from our clients’ media spend to recommend appropriate budgets that best benefit our clients. We’re also relentlessly competitive, where client success and digital marketing performance comes first.
Our Core Values:
The ideal candidate doesn’t only agree with our core values, but lives by them in their own day-to-day life. These aren’t ‘pay to play’ core values, such as ‘accountability’ or ‘integrity’ (those matter, but they’re expected), but more importantly, how we operate as a culture.
Open the playbook
- Be transparent, show our work, show the metrics, and educate our clients.
- This speaks to transparency, where many are jaded by the digital marketing industry as a whole, we promise to be the first to tell our clients when a campaign isn’t performing as expected.
Will to win
- Winning for our clients is a win for us - do what it takes for everyone to win.
- This means that you're competitive, and look to perform for each and every client you work with.
Assists are just as good as scoring
- Be a playmaker, set up your teammates for success
- Doing your job in a silo is one thing, but ensuring proper handoff of your work, staying organized, and assisting another team member when needed is key.
Review the game tape and make adjustments
- Always look back, win or lose, and identify where you can improve and what can change to be better the next time. Mistakes happen, we’re human, and we’re all here to do our best.
Swing for the fences
- Always push the limit creatively, and always look to bring something new to every client
Love the game
- Have fun! We’re in the most interesting industry on earth, with ever evolving rules, strategies, tactics, and trends. If we’re not enjoying it, then we’re not doing it right.
To apply, simply share your resume and cover letter and we will respond with an interview request if we feel that you’re an ideal fit.
