What you’ll love about being an Optimized Marketer
You’ll receive extensive training on every part of our proprietary SPACE program (Science, Psychology, Automation, & Certified Experts) for driving leads to local, service businesses.
You’ll be part of our team every day – we have a daily standup at 11am EST to share priorities and barriers for the day.
You’ll improve lives at small businesses where your effort makes an immediate, significant impact.
You’ll get access to dozens of proprietary software systems that we use to automate and systematize PPC management. Many of them reduce tedious optimization work that would take hours down to minutes.
You’ll contribute to a strong, values-driven culture to support each other and our clients to get better (with an uncompromising commitment to integrity and ethics).
You’ll relax at annual “retreats” where we all fly to somewhere and meet for a few days to share ideas and just have fun.
In an industry with an average tenure of 18 months, you’ll appreciate how strong our culture is by considering our average team member tenure is over 5 years.
But what you might love the most is that, WE TRUST YOU!
Seriously.
That’s why we offer unlimited vacation.
If you say you need a break, we trust that you do.
That’s why we don’t have set working hours (other than a daily, 15-minute meeting at 11am EST).
If you say you’re going to get your work done with a high degree of professionalism and killer results, we trust you will.
That’s why we only record your webcam for 8 hours/day.
KIDDING!
We have no “tracking” on your local computer and full-time team members don’t even submit timesheets or “log-in” when they are working.
However, we have a numbers-driven approach to our marketing so we’re here to cheer you on when the numbers look great (and pick your brain on what awesome work you did)…
And also to help you if the results are trending in the wrong direction.
In other words, it’s kind of an outcome-based-work-from-home-holacracy… 😀

Innovative ideas, thoroughly-tested, will rise to the top to push the limits on what we can deliver.

Our Hiring Process
Though we’ve hired many people from all over the world to work-from-home, it’s still important for both you and us to make sure it’s a great fit.
So the process could look something like this:
- A series of Interviews – including some skills, personality, and aptitude tests.
- Part-time for ~10-15 hour/week – This will be a paid project and allows you to get up-to-speed on our team, customers, what we do and also get a feel for working from home effectively. Often this can be done nights and weekends while we ensure this is the perfect match for everyone.
- Part-time 25-30 hours/week (optional) – If this is mutually beneficial, now you really get to take off. You’ll never be micromanaged but at this juncture you know the big picture, our processes and procedures for generating more leads, and it’s up to you to boost the number of leads our clients get. This is extremely fun and rewarding because it’s very self-directed but with some veritable experts an IM or video chat away.
- Full Time – Welcome to an elite club of internet marketing gurus! You will be one of the best in the industry and will continue to grow and learn just as fast as you can handle. You’ll have some seriously sweet perks to go along with your new super-geek status and our goal is to continue to expand those as we increase in profitability.
