Horrendous, toxic place to work - steer very clear - PPC Executive MRS Digital Employee Review

The people at MRS Digital are genuinely great to work with. They’re smart, supportive, friendly and always open to collaborating, which makes a real difference day to day. The environment is dynamic and fast paced, and no two days ever feel the same. You get the sense that your work really impacts client growth, which makes it feel meaningful. There’s great exposure to all digital channels too which means you’re not boxed into just one area, so you’re constantly learning and developing a wide range of skills. You also get to work closely with other teams like SEO, CRO, and content, which helps to give a proper understanding of how everything connects. Leadership is fair and understanding, and it’s clear they care about both the people and the work. The clients are varied and interesting, offering loads of opportunity to stretch yourself. And being part of a team that consistently wins awards really adds to the pride in what you’re doing.

Like any agency, things can get busy, and it’s definitely a fast paced environment, so being organised and able to juggle tasks is important. Priorities sometimes shift quickly, which can make planning tricky if you’re someone who prefers a bit more structure. There’s a lot to get stuck into across different platforms and accounts, which is great for learning, but it can feel like a lot to take in at first. That said, the team’s always helpful when you ask, and once you find your rhythm it becomes a lot easier to manage.

I love working in such a supportive, creative environment packed with great minds and brilliant people! As an award-winning agency, we're lucky to partner with some fantastic clients from a range of industries. My job is so varied, from writing blogs, guides, and emails to optimising live pages or producing white papers and content plans - no two days are the same. And yes, I still get a kick when my work is published alongside the immense satisfaction of helping our clients achieve their goals, whether generating more leads or ranking higher in searches. I used to think digital marketing was only for the young - seems I was wrong. I was a journalist for 25 years then made redundant fairly recently. That makes me significantly older than many of my colleagues. But you know what, it doesn't matter. With the support and expertise of MRS, I've learned so much and adapted my writing skills to the needs of the business in an ever-changing digital landscape. I now write for some of our biggest B2B and B2C clients about key topics such as life insurance, pensions, cybersecurity, car insurance, and power supplies. But I also create content for clients from the fashion, food, and leisure industries - like I say, incredibly varied! So, if you're considering a change of career and your skills are transferrable, I'd highly recommend digital marketing. You may even strike gold and find an opportunity at a superb agency like MRS.

Really. Can't. Think. Of. One.
