Pros
I've been with Grey Alchemy for a solid few years now. Digital marketing and social media are extremely fast paced industries but this agency continues to always stay-on-the-ball with an enthusiastic and proactive ethic. I'm a Digital Marketing Executive which means that I work primarily with clients on planning of marketing activities, copywriting and producing visual content or media. I also look after paid advertising on social media platforms which encompasses campaign planning, budget recommendations, producing ad creatives, executing within a budget, and reporting on performance. The team vibe is a very international one with a mix of nationalities working closely like a family. You really have to stay on your toes but learn a tremendous amount in the process, if you can keep up. Everyone is very busy but are happy to teach and support you when they can. This has definitely enhanced my existing skillset since 2015 and I’ve grown by leaps and bounds while being here. The work environment is modern, functional and cool. Skateboard decks, anime posters and event art decorate the walls. Common areas are pretty awesome, especially the comfy sofas used for smaller internal meetings. The once-a-year company outing on a yacht is something I’ve never had the opportunity to enjoy in my past jobs. For the team, the yacht party is definitely one of the highlights of the year. Working at Grey Alchemy has had its moments, stressful ones, challenging ones and very rewarding ones.
Cons
Digital marketing and social media can be extremely fast paced which will test you at times. You really have to stay on your toes but learn a tremendous amount in the process, if you can keep up.
