Effective Spend Named a 2020 Best Places to Work in 3 Categories by Built In Austin
On January 13th, Built In Austin published their official lists of Austin’s 2020 Best Places to Work and Effective Spend has been ranked on three different prestigious lists:
- #12 out of the 50 Best Small Companies to Work For
- #41 out of the 50 Companies with the Best Perks and Benefits
- #59 out of the 100 Best Places to Work in Austin overall
Built In determines their rankings by taking a comprehensive look at each company’s benefits and compensation data from 2019 and algorithmically grading how they compare to other locally-based companies.
Separate from these annual rankings, Built In hosts live, frequently updated rankings which act as a snapshot of what’s going on in the area, with fluctuations favoring the most recent data. Effective Spend consistently ranked on Built In’s live list throughout 2019, ranking as high as #2 for small companies in October. While the live lists help keep a pulse on Austin businesses throughout the year, the annual lists published in January are highly regarded as Built In’s locked, definitive, and official rankings for the year.
“Being selected in not just one, but three, categories is an honor we are extremely proud of,” said Natalia Wulfe, Co-Owner & CMO of Effective Spend. “Our company has seen exponential growth over the last few years, nearly doubling our revenue, staff, and office space. But through it all, we have maintained an incredible culture of excellence, personal growth, inclusion, and fun. We’ve worked hard to ensure our career development, training, compensation, and culture programs have scaled to meet the demands of our growing and evolving team.”
These 2020 honors continue our momentum from 2019 where we ranked on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies and Austin Business Journal’s FAST50 along with being named a Google Premier Partner Award Finalist and Clutch’s Top Digital Marketing Agency in Austin.
We are thrilled to be joined on the overall Best Places to Work list by several of our local clients, including FloSports and Khoros. FloSports ranks in the top quarter, sitting at 24th, while Khoros tops the entire list at number 1 overall! You could say that we like to keep good company.
