Acquity Group Careers & Info

Current CEO: Chris Dalton

Status: Active

Acquity Group is a Chicago based marketing company. It was formed in 2001, and there are currently offices located throughout the United States, notably in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The company focuses on the digital aspects of marketing, a growing field that combines the traditional concepts of marketing with the ascending dominance of the newer technology-based approaches to the art of persuading consumers to spend money.

There are currently around 300 employees spread across the various locations. Recent revenue reports place the company around $60 million.

Being strictly a service provider, working at Acquity Group has no manufacturing or hourly wage jobs. There may be some clerical and administrative blue collar positions, but for the most part, Acquity careers will be geared to those with the high level of technical computer expertise required to compete in the information economy. The ability to apply tech skills to create services to persuade businesses to use Acquity for their marketing efforts will also be in demand here.

Typical positions listed on the company website carry descriptions such as Application Architect, Account Director, Campus Recruiter and Creative Director.

Requirements for these positions generally include an undergraduate or advanced degree in marketing, advertising and interactive design. There is frequent mention of some degree of travel involved. Campus Recruiters in particular, may spend substantial amounts of time on the road, up to 80% in fact, during the campus recruiting season. An Application Architect position will have travel levels of around 25%, depending upon client needs.

Of course, Acquity does place previous similar employment experience high on its list of desirable qualifications. The proof of the ability to survive and produce in the field of marketing will often compensate for a lack of degree credentials.

Highly motivated, competitive individuals who can adopt change rapidly and forecast where that change may take the marketing field will find the Acquity culture to their liking. Dealing with such a highly intangible product requires a high level of mental flexibility; marketing can be a 24/7 activity that can occupy the thoughts with no regard for normal business hours. The company is still small enough to provide the mindset of a team atmosphere where everyone is willing to assume roles outside of a strict job description in order to achieve objectives.

Medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance, and a 401k plan head the list of Acquity Group benefits. There are paid vacations and holidays. The company’s Variable Compensation Plan offers rewards for high performance/productivity.
