DETROIT, Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mars Agency was recently named one of 100 Cool Places to Work in Michigan.

The Agency was among 100 companies selected based on hiring practices, benefit packages, office perks, workplace environment, as well as direct employee feedback. Thousands of people were surveyed as part of the selection process.

Crain's Detroit highlighted the Agency's ability to make its staff feel valued, allowing them to pursue their passions and career interests, its volunteering opportunities, and its fun culture, marked by various team outings and events throughout the year.

"In today's dynamic business environment, talent is the key differentiator. As one of the only remaining independent shopper marketing agencies, we have the flexibility to recruit, develop and invest against the best talent, providing a superior level of thinking for our clients. Being named a 'cool place to work' is another validation of our agency purpose, growth for our clients, employees, company and community," said Rob Rivenburgh, CEO North America of The Mars Agency.

These sentiments were echoed by Ken Barnett, The Mars Agency's Global CEO.
"We have always been a leader in the revolution of marketing to shoppers and in helping our clients find growth opportunities through shoppers. It's our people that identify those opportunities every day, and help drive sustainable brand growth. That's why we take great care in fostering an environment that encourages their personal and professional development. Across North America and internationally, our people make us a cool place to work."
