Equity and belonging are foundational at Marcus Thomas, reflected in hiring practices that require at least 50% of candidates for new roles come from underrepresented communities.
The Cleveland-based marketing agency’s employee-led affinity groups provide spaces for employees across racial, generational and LGBTQ+ identities to connect and build community—hosting activities ranging from member-focused social outings to large-scale celebrations like the agency-wide Pride dance party in June 2024.
Employees receive unlimited paid time off, $200 wellness reimbursements and subsidies of up to $150 for creativity-focused classes. Marcus Thomas also offers unlimited telemedicine services, covering both medical and mental health care for employees and their families.
