Ideal way to spend a day off

Not waking up to an alarm, a late morning workout, grabbing coffee at a new cafe in the city, running errands at a leisurely rate, cooking a full meal instead of eating snacks for dinner, and catching up on my favorite TV show

What inspires you about working here?

1) Multiple chances to take on new challenges/projects. 2) Endless support from my team. 3) Encouragement to grow and succeed. 4) Working with and creating lasting client relationships.

What drew you to work at The Mx Group?

The opportunity, the culture, the casual environment, work-life balance and positive online reviews

What makes Mx’ers so great to work with?

Each person at Mx brings something special to the table. Everyone is wicked smart, creative, strategic, efficient, and most of all a pleasure to work with. Levels of hierarchy feel obsolete and the primary goal in all the work we do is to deliver the best product or service we can to our clients. This mutual goal makes everything we do worth it.

How has The Mx Group helped you grow your career?

Mx gives you the opportunity, tools, and encouragement you need to develop and grow your career. My team lets me take on new projects and challenges while offering guidance and support along the way to ensure I am learning in everything that I do. It’s rewarding to look back on things I once thought were challenging about my role that have now just become a part of my day-to-day — I think this speaks volumes and is the most measurable way I can describe my growth here.

What’s your commute like?

The reverse commute from the city isn’t too bad. On my way into the office I typically listen to one of my regular podcasts. On my way home I often call my family. I can make my commute a productive use of my time, but I can also use it as a way to prepare for the day or decompress after.

Meet Greg, Senior Art Director

“Since I’ve been here, I’ve gotten opportunities to build relationships with clients and be a creative lead…”

Learning style

I learn best by seeing and then doing. In the context of my creative process, this involves looking for inspiration to solve the challenge at hand (seeing) and then creating concepts and designs for the solution (doing).

Favorite show to binge-watch

Mad Men, Scrubs, Arrested Development

Coffee or kombucha

Coffee

Dream vacation location

I’d like to go somewhere tropical and learn to surf.

Spirit animal

An owl – I’m a late-night person.

Ideal way to spend a day off

Doing anything fun with my wife and kids — it could be as simple as a trip to the grocery store with them, but family time is a big part of my non-work time.

What drew you to work at The Mx Group?

I spent 15 years working in the city, and I was looking for a change to get closer to home. Location played a big part. So did the fact that Mx is an independent mid-sized agency, so there was more opportunity to do different things and not just be a cog in a large machine.

What inspires you about working here?

The opportunity to work on different types projects and not be locked into doing just one thing. Versatility is a valued skill here.

What makes Mx’ers so great to work with?

There are some really smart people here who are honest and speak their minds. I’m fortunate to work with some people who really like to collaborate as well.

How has The Mx Group helped you grow your career?

Since I’ve been here, I’ve gotten opportunities to build relationships with clients and be a creative lead — opportunities I wasn’t getting at other agencies. Having that kind of trust placed in you bolsters your confidence.

What’s your commute like?

I drive. I went from traveling three hours a day round-trip (car, Metra and on foot) when I worked in the city to driving about 80 minutes a day round-trip now. Traffic is not bad, and I spend way less on gas than I did on a monthly Metra pass. I’m not stuck to the train schedule either, so I can get home a lot more easily at the end of the day. I used to sketch on the train a lot of days, and I do miss that, but the trade-off of saving money and getting more time back in my day is an easy one.

What’s your commute like?

2 minutes, the shortest in the company 🙂

How has The Mx Group helped you grow your career?

I started as a web developer with almost zero experience. I got to learn and use new technologies that have become popular in web and mobile application development over the years, such as .Net/C#, MVC, Angular, Ionic and React Native. I receive a lot of help from some talented teammates who served as my mentors here.

What inspires you about working here?

There are a lot of opportunities to learn here, making every day challenging and exciting — and when you finish building cool applications, you get a sense of fulfillment.

You’ll love working here!
