We are a great agency in part because everybody at SmartBug works to build a company culture that is focused on supporting professional development, maintaining a solid work-life balance and creating an environment where employees feel comfortable being their authentic selves every day,” SmartBug CEO Jen Spencer said. “These recognitions from Comparably tell me that we are on the right track as far as our employees are concerned, which translates into better customer experiences for our clients.”
