Ingredients for a Best Place to Work: If you ask marketing manager Maggie Braden what makes Texas-based INM Marketing Group (asi/229643) great, she will tell you it’s unequivocally the people that work there. “Everyone genuinely cares, not only about each other, but about the success of the company and our clients,” she says.

The hybrid work model only adds to that. It allows people to trust one another and hold themselves accountable for anything that needs to get done. When everyone has the same faith placed in them, it fosters an environment of excellence, hard work, and a drive for success.

“We all want INM to be successful and believe we can do that while finding joy in our work and the relationships we build within the company,” Braden says. “… Everyone is driven to do their job well.”

Top Benefits & Perks: One of INM employees’ favorite perks is unlimited PTO. They can take time off whenever, for whatever, as long as their work is getting done. And if something happens while they’re off, the team will cover for them until they get back. “We’re not just talking about work-life balance; we're living it with this perk,” Braden says.

Team activities like Thanksgiving potlucks, family nights at baseball games, and holiday parties add to the close-knit culture at the company, and so does the group mentality of giving back to the community. INM, which earned Counselor’s 2023 Promo Campaign Award for Best Sustainability-Driven Campaign, also takes time away from the office together to volunteer.
