Meet Tyler, Interactive Art Director

“Excellent salary and benefits, national clients, and smart leadership….”

Work “superpower”

Versatility

Favorite show to binge-watch

I just finished rewatching Breaking Bad — still the best show to ever grace TV.

Coffee or kombucha

Coffee all day

Dream vacation location

Africa

Spirit animal

Honey badger

Learning style

I learn best through experience. I like to do research up front to help me create a plan, contextualize information, and get an overview of what I’m after. Once I have that, though, I roll up my sleeves and get into the thick of it, solving through challenges as they reveal themselves.

What inspires you about working here?

The Agency’s openness to new ideas, the high bar we set for ourselves, and the opportunities available within the agency both now and in the future as we continue to grow.

Ideal way to spend a day off

Outside, exploring all that Chicago has to offer with my wife and son.

How has The Mx Group helped you grow your career?

Mx has allowed me to work on a wide range of projects for a number of national and international clients, adding top-tier work to my portfolio, sharpening my presentation and client management skills, and giving me opportunities to lead all at the same time.

Mx has also given me opportunities to expand those efforts into new territories, providing me with the resources and support to develop an entire lecture series program, called Connect, from the ground up.

What drew you to work at The Mx Group?

Excellent salary and benefits, national clients, and smart leadership.

Meet Kelley, Lead Quality Assurance Analyst

“There is a culture of collaboration and passion for excellence here that makes it easy for me to rely on my teammates…”

Work “superpower”

My work “superpower” is to question everything. It certainly comes in handy in QA.

Favorite show to binge-watch

Game of Thrones. I’ve “accidentally” rewatched it three times now.

Coffee or kombucha

Neither, and I had to Google “kombucha.” I swear I used to be hip.

Ideal way to spend a day off

Brunch, and then reading on the porch of a lake house for the rest of the day.

Spirit animal

Hedgehog

Learning style

I learn best by doing, especially when that doing forces me to investigate a particular problem. I tend to learn several other things along the way.

What inspires you about working here?

We deliver great work, and it’s always satisfying to have a quality product and happy client at the end of our efforts. It’s even more satisfying to know that my work and opinions are valued in that process, and I can see exactly where I helped shape the final product.

Dream vacation location

Istanbul. In addition to the sheer amount of history there, I love experiencing cultures different from my own.

What makes Mx’ers so great to work with?

There is a culture of collaboration and passion for excellence here that makes it easy for me to rely on my teammates — and, in turn, drives me to be someone they can rely on. Beyond work, though, people here are fun and interesting. Liking the people you work with certainly makes it better to work with them.

How has The Mx Group helped you grow your career?

Through a mix of diverse project requirements, supportive management and staffing needs that come with a growing company, I’ve been able to expand my skill set technically and in terms of project and team management. Mx is a place where you can help define your own role.

What’s your commute like?

I live in Chicago near UIC; driving to work takes me about 30 minutes, and the drive home is about 45. I’d of course prefer being able to use public transit, but the drive does give me time to catch up on podcasts and current events.

Meet Phil, Lead Motion Designer

“Mx service offerings are so large that you get exposed to almost every part of B2B marketing…”

Favorite show to binge-watch

The Office

Coffee or kombucha

Kombucha

Ideal way to spend a day off

Crawling around on the floor, pushing hot wheels around my living room with my wife and my 2-year-old son.

Dream vacation location

Space. I’m hoping before I die there will be an affordable way to get up there and look down at the world!

Spirit animal

Golden retriever

Learning style

I’m a visual learner, but I think the best way to learn is to just dive right into whatever it is you are trying to figure out. You’ll almost always swim.

Work “superpower”

It must be to slow time somehow because sometimes I don’t even understand how we get certain projects done on time and on budget.

What drew you to work at The Mx Group?

One of the big things that drew me to Mx was actually the location. I’ve always lived in the suburbs and had spent 5+ years commuting into the city, so I was happy to be back in the suburbs.

What makes Mx’ers so great to work with?

They’re dedicated and motivated. Egos never get in the way of great new ideas.

How has The Mx Group helped you grow your career?

Mx service offerings are so large that you get exposed to almost every part of B2B marketing.

What inspires you about working here?

I love creating things, especially when those things impact others. We have such great relationships with our clients and I love hearing their reaction to our work.

You’ll love working here!
