To celebrate Red Door’s 10th anniversary this year (double digits!), we would like to share our personality, core values, and overall excitement through a series of “top 10” blog posts on the 10th each month.

The Morale & Culture Committee jumped at the opportunity to tackle the “Top 10” blog post for May. Since the main function of our committee is to make Red Door a great place to work, we thought we’d tell the world (or whoever reads this post) why employees actually enjoy working here. We surveyed the company and here are the top 10 reasons why we love working at Red Door:

1.       We:30

 Every Wednesday, the offices gather for a break from work to enjoy snacks, connect, and learn fun facts about the We:30 person of the week!

2.       There is a work hard, play hard mentality

 Dennis takes a break from a long day of work to challenge the San Diego Chicken to a game of chess. 

3.       The talented, positive people

 Our San Diego crew stops to say Cheeeese!

4.       The folks here are not just colleagues, they’re friends

 Zee, Anne, Julie, Lexi, Allison, Merima & Natalie enjoy some off-camera bonding while working on a Rubio’s shoot.

5.       It’s a creative environment where everyone is encouraged to share

 Creativity doesn’t stop with our work! Members of our Search, Social, Analytics and Email teams share their Halloween spirit with the office.

6.       We’re given the opportunity to work to our strengths

 Natalie shows off her newly awarded CPA Certificate. Congrats! 

7.       The company is flexible – We can organize our schedules and locations as needed

Telecommuters Michele & Malani show off their work spaces and preferred way of communication with the office – skype!

8.       No ‘jerks’ allowed

Members of our Philanthropy Committee, Red Door Caring Hearts, show their silly side before helping serve lunch to seniors near our downtown San Diego office.

9.       On any given day, there are two or three people who just happen to wear the same outfit

It’s a twin thing with Jeannie & Reid, Adam & Mike and Charles & John.

10.   The close-knit group in Denver

- Publication recognizes firm among best employer in Marketing and Media -

SAN DIEGO – September 20, 2010 – Red Door Interactive, a premier strategic Internet Presence Management firm, today announced it was recognized by Advertising Age as one of the Best Places to Work in Marketing and Media.

The employees surveyed gave the company very high marks on its leadership and planning, employee engagement, corporate culture and communications as well as relationships with staff. 

“We’ve extremely fortunate to have built a successful company that’s been recognized by various media outlets ranging from national to local, but it’s a greater achievement to be recognized among those that  more closely resemble our creative industry peers ,” said Reid Carr, president of Red Door Interactive. “We have a lot of great things going on at Red Door and we couldn’t be more proud to represent San Diego on this prominent list!”

This marks the first year that Ad Age has identified the Best Places to Work in the Marketing and Media industry. Eligible businesses included privately or publically-held companies in the U.S. with a minimum of 25 employees and in operation for at least one year. Businesses were required to submit information regarding their human resource policies and practices as well as employee demographics.  Staff members were also asked to participate in online surveys as part of the process.

In addition to this achievement, Red Door Interactive was recently named to Inc. Magazines “Inc. 5,000” list and honored by the San Diego Business Journal as one of the area’s Best Places to Work. The Web Marketing Association also named the firm “Best Internet Service Provider: Rich Media Online Campaign” and “Best Telecommunication Website and Mobile Application” while The American Marketing Association gave Red Door “Best New Media Marketing,” “Best Makeover Campaign” and “People’s Choice” awards this year.
