Anchorage, Alaska (November 8, 2017) – Spawn Ideas has been selected as one of OUTSIDE’s Best Places to Work 2017. Not only are winning companies great workplaces for employees, but they respect the environment and encourage a balance between work and enjoying life in the great outdoors.
“This is our sixth year on Outside Magazine’s best places to work list, an accolade that means a lot to our employee-owned agency. Staff co-create our excellent culture so being named one of the best in the country recognizes our entire team’s efforts,” said President and CEO Karen King.
“Companies from across the country entered a rigorous two-part survey process to make the winning list,” said Jonah Ogles, Articles Editor at OUTSIDE Magazine. “The Best Companies Group evaluates each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. There’s also an employee survey to measure personal experience.”
The winning companies are those that value productivity in combination with an active, eco-conscious lifestyle, for a fulfilling experience inside and outside the office. This is OUTSIDE’s tenth year providing the Best Places to Work.
Spawn Ideas is an advertising agency staffed by more than 40 perpetual adventurers (Anchorage, Denver, Seattle) who like to say they’re more mountain climbers than status climbers. Through collaboration, and a mix of stamina, resourcefulness and drive, the firm “brings energy to brands.” Work/life balance is a key agency value that allows its team to soak up everything their outdoor lifestyles have to offer, and return to work inspired to create the best work possible for clients and brands.
