Southwest Media Group (SMG), the Southwest’s premier media services company, has been recognized in The Dallas Morning News’ annual “Top 100 Places to Work 2012” special section.
“SMG is a forward-thinking place to work,” “I get to express my creativity to meet client goals,” “SMG and its leaders believe in me and trust me …” and “… the atmosphere is great and I enjoy what I do.”Anonymous, SMG team member
More than 275 companies participated in the annual survey. SMG ranked higher than any other advertising and marketing firm in town at No. 4 on the list of firms with fewer than 149 employees. In the survey, employees said the agency is a creative, fun place to work.
“At Southwest Media Group, we have a collaborative culture with an emphasis on continual exploration and learning, which manifests itself in our long-term client relationships and the outstanding company culture recognized by Best Places to Work. I love coming to work with these talented, creative people each day and am so proud of the great workplace we’ve created as a team.”Bob Nichol, SMG founder and CEO
The feature also recognizes companies that implement employee ideas that make a difference in their organization, including SMG’s annual digital summit, which started as an employee idea to help educate clients about new technologies and platforms. Next year, SMG will host its fourth annual digital summit, “Immersion 2013: Explore Your Digital Soul,” Feb. 6–7 at The House of Blues in Dallas, where it is expected to draw hundreds of attendees to learn from thought leaders about a wide variety of emerging technologies and services in an experiential setting.
