Advertising Age Names BFO (Be Found Online) as Number 1 of 50 Best Places to Work in Advertising & Media

    CHICAGO, IL, November 15, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- BFO (Be Found Online) was named one of Ad Age's 2016 Best Places to Work, it was announced today by Advertising Age. BFO (Be Found Online) was number one of 50 companies selected for the list. This survey and awards program identifies, recognizes and honors the best employers in the marketing and media industry, benefiting the industry's economy, workforce and businesses. The list is based on criteria including workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, demographics and the employee experience.

BFO encourages employees to get involved in their communities. Employees enjoy benefits including Volunteer Time Off, time an employee can take to get involved with causes close to their heart. In 2016, BFO even offered Voting Time Off where the company closed on election day to make sure all employees had the opportunity to vote.

Ad Age pointed out "BFO goes out of its way to create a flexible environment, allowing people to work from home whenever they want, as long as it's communicated." People who prefer to come to the office can bring their dogs with them, and take advantage of BFO's Cubs season tickets with Wrigley Field just a short drive from the office.

At BFO, we encourage employees to be excellent at the office, in their families and in their communities. "The companies on Ad Age's Best Places to Work represent the cream of the crop in marketing, advertising, media and ad technology," said Deputy Editor Judann Pollack. "In these highly competitive fields, these 50 stand out for their best-in-class benefits, salaries and hiring practices, but also for creating a compelling culture in which employees are engaged, encouraged and valued. Talent has never been more important in marketing, and our Best Places to Work companies have proven that they can attract and retain the best in the business."

The 2016 Best Places to Work list is a joint effort of Advertising Age and Best Companies Group. Best Companies Group is dedicated to establishing programs to identify and recognize workplaces that nurture a superior level of employee satisfaction and engagement. Companies from across the United States participated in the two-part survey process to determine Ad Age's Best Places to Work. Any agency, ad tech, media company, or marketing division of a brand that's been in business for more than one year with more than 15 full-time employees was eligible. Public, private, for-profit and non-for-profit businesses could all participate. The list was determined by feedback from two surveys. The first garnered information about employers offerings and the second was an employee survey to measure the workplace experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.
