DMi Partners is driven by two principles—being powered by people and creating growth opportunities. The marketing agency’s commitment to retention is evident, describing employee tenure as above industry standard. DMi attributes this to thoughtful decision-making that values the employee experience, as well as accessible leadership, from top executives to first-time managers. 

DMi offers a variety of benefits, providing employees with $1,000 annually for professional development, which can be used for networking, mentorship and certifications. Additionally, employees receive a $1,000 care services stipend for health-related expenses not covered by insurance, as well as stipends for work-from-home equipment and fitness-related costs.

DMi maintains its adaptability by accommodating remote teams, expanding beyond its Philadelphia headquarters to employ people across the U.S., with no mandatory return-to-office policies. Every Friday, the agency closes at 3 p.m. following a company-wide meeting where employees participate in games and shout-outs, ending the week on a positive note.

The company in its own words: “One of our core values is do the right thing. That means just that. Not the most profitable thing. There is always second-degree thoughtfulness. Where other agencies try to grow as fast as possible—DMi doesn’t do that. We are strategic in our planning and how it affects our people.”
