THE CONVERSIFY CULTURE
Conversify is a 100% virtual Social Media Marketing agency. That means we all work from our homes, a coffee shop, our friend’s homes or even a hotel. Our team members are professionals, and our focus in on the deliverable. There is no micromanaging here. As such, anyone and everyone we hire will need to be a self-starter who is highly motivated to make deadlines and be hyper communicative. If you are the type that panics if the phone is not answered or goes into withdrawal if you have not checked your email and if you never, ever, ever miss a deadline, then welcome to our world.
We are growing into a fully global company with “offices” spanning from Derbyshire, United Kingdom to Anchorage, Alaska and everywhere in between. As such, the concept of a 9 to 5 work day is no longer valid. Depending on where you are, you might need to have a 6am conference call or a 7pm conference call. That said, there is virtually no face time. If you stayed up late the night before getting something done for a client and all of your work is done, go play the next day. Have fun (but take your mobile communications device with you just in case!)
Playing hooky on a Tuesday does not mean we are not productive. The expectation at Conversify is that you are available when the client or your Conversify team members need you. You are a team player who communicates well to teammates via email, phone, video, chat, Second Life, etc. You work well collaboratively, but you are also able to work independently and are motivated to get the job done. A professional attitude is a must. The technology you have (phone, computer, email, etc.) must work without fuss. When on the phone, you take care to eliminate all non-professional noise (traffic, babies, barking dogs, etc.). But we also encourage interaction with our internal Conversify team including weekly watercooler gatherings in Second Life.
OUR VALUES:
Happiness.
Treat people the way you want to be treated.
An open source ethos.
Flexibility leading to optimal productivity in work and in life.
Imagination and Creativity.
Empowerment.
