At a recent company-wide meeting, a long-time client summed up the unique culture at Communispace: “You have really achieved a culture here that most companies only dream of… don’t ever lose it.”
There are a number of rewards that I’ve experienced as an employee at Communispace, all of which help to feed our culture continuously. Working with more than 100 of the best and most innovative brands on the planet is one. So is being associated with a revolutionary concept in the market research landscape—one that was co-innovated by our CEO and first client over 10 years ago. Of course working alongside some of the most talented, hard working, and fun people I have ever met is a constant source of job satisfaction.
I get a real jolt of pride and job satisfaction out of telling people where I work. These days, Communispace carries name recognition as a great place to work, and I’m routinely asked by my peers how they can get their foot in the door.
The question I am asked most often is something like, “What’s it really like to work there?” or “Is it really as cool as it seems?” My answer is simple and true: What you see on the outside is exactly what you get on the inside. No hidden agendas, no debilitating politics—just hard working individuals passionate about being the best at what they do.
Yesterday’s article in The New York Times highlights one of the really innovative aspects of our culture here. The message of the story just makes it even easier to respond to those questions with deeper conviction.
As you will see in the article, our growth is not inhibiting our culture at all. In fact, it continues to evolve daily.

Of course, I didn’t go at it alone. From some of our newest employees to our CEO, everyone who wants to get involved is able to play their own part in the show. Maybe they sing their own solo about wanting to be a girl (I will call out Bill Alberti), have a fantastic duet with awkward tension, or even rap about their job.

It’s fantastic to hear the employees speak so enthusiastically about the values at Communispace. It must be refreshing to work in a positive, team-oriented environment where (my favorites) excellence, energy and client dedication are so revered. Communispace sets a great example!
Passionate employees attract passionate customers. It was fantastic to watch the video and see a very diverse group of people raving about the organization. What is even more fantastic is that folks really feel like that about the organization without the camera in front of them. You can hear it in the community in casual conversations and it makes Communispace a very attractive place, especially for a seasoned professional who has seen less passionate environments. It also keeps the corporate cockroaches away (I have written a blog post on that issue).
That all said, I have recently interviewed with Communispace and though I have lost out to a better qualified candidate (like it should be), I will continue following the organization, because it is definitely the company I would like to work for!
