Working for Prosper Strategies has afforded me a unique perspective on what it means to work for a true changemaking company. These days, it seems everywhere you look you find many firms throwing out buzzwords like “innovation” and “social responsibility.” But after a while, these words lose meaning. And where does that leave any of us, really?
True changemaking companies seek to not just grow their bottom line, but also their impact. In fact, they see the two as deeply interconnected. And it’s what makes working with Prosper Strategies a little bit different. Our team is not simply here to say we’re a changemaking company or to work with other changemaking companies. We’re here to be one. If you’re considering a career switch to a changemaking company, I can’t recommend it enough. Read on to find out why I work with a changemaking company (and why you should, too)!
The B Corp Difference
Prosper Strategies is a certified B Corp, a fact we couldn’t be more proud of here. B Corporations are legally obligated to consider the interests of their clients, employees, suppliers and the community. I think I speak for the whole Prosper team when I say that even if we weren’t “legally bound,” we would still have a deep interest in our impact on the world around us. What can I say? We’re a dedicated and curious bunch. But B Corp gives us a framework through which to formalize and measure our efforts.
For us, caring isn’t simply about improving our bottom line. When you work with an amazing team and groundbreaking clients, caring comes naturally. It’s what makes you wake up in the morning and maybe hit the snooze button only once. It’s what makes you lose track of time during the day until you produce end results with purpose. The ability to be right alongside our changemaking clients through their successes is one of the things that truly makes Prosper, Prosper. And it’s what makes our whole team excited to come to work every day.
Our 4-D Approach
If you couldn’t tell already, we approach marketing a little differently at Prosper. One of our most obvious points of difference is our 4-D Approach™. Working with us means knowing that a significant emphasis will be placed on strategy, research and messaging before we start our tactical execution. This happens during our Discovery phase – and it’s custom-tailored to the needs of changemaking companies. After the Discovery phase, we move on to designing your marketing plan and driving results. That’s where the real magic happens, and we’re set up to prove it. In the Deliver phase of our campaigns, we produce results scorecards and KPI analysis that gives our clients meaningful, transparent insight into how their campaigns are working.
The People!
When you choose to work with Prosper Strategies, whether as a client or a prospective employee, you get a lot more than a typical marketing firm. You get passion. We operate as an extension of your team. We also take special care to make sure we’re readily available to our clients and team members alike–a fact best seen in our unique company culture.
Our team members are dedicated to client support, but we also regularly take stock of our mission as a company. Who should we work with and why are questions regularly thrown around in the office. Never do we lose sight of why we choose to work at changemaking company and with other changemaking companies, something you wouldn’t be quick to find in other firms. The best part? We get to work alongside the fantastic people who work at changemaking companies of their own.
Working with changemaking companies is something we as a company value each and every day.
