Ignite Social Media, a marketing agency built on the principle of “intentional diversity,” showcases the power of collaboration across generations and perspectives. Co-owned by a white male and a Black female and supported by a leadership team that is 85% female, the agency actively recruits talent through university partnerships and direct outreach, creating a workplace where employees of all ages and experiences are empowered to contribute.
Employee recognition is another hallmark of Ignite’s culture. The #Swagger Award allows employees to self-nominate for work they are proud of, while the Core Value Award celebrates team members who embody the agency’s six core principles—including respect, collaboration and always learning. A $5,000 Length of Service Award honors employees reaching 10 years, enabling them to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
