Over the past nine years at Digital 24, we’ve met many talented people. It’s not uncommon for candidates to wonder whether working for a small agency might limit their career prospects. They often ask, “Does working in a small agency hinder my career?” Our answer is simple: “Have you seen the career paths of our team?”

Meghan’s journey to performance marketing director

Take Meghan, our Performance Marketing Director, as an example. When Meghan joined us, she came from a small, fast-moving environment and brought her startup mentality with her. From day one, she was eager to take on more responsibility and contribute to shaping our agency’s success. Over time, Meghan’s drive and adaptability led to her promotion, and now she heads our performance marketing efforts, leading the way for both our clients and team.

Working in a small agency like Digital 24, with just 9 people, provides ample opportunity for leadership, growth, and learning. The flexibility and hands-on experience you gain here would be difficult to find in a larger, more rigid organisation. Meghan’s journey is just one example of how working in a small team can fast-track your career.

Promotions based on merit, not circumstance

At Digital 24, we pride ourselves on promoting based on merit. Life events like pregnancy or personal changes don’t hold anyone back here. Some of our team members have been promoted months after starting, showing that at a small agency, it’s about what you bring to the table.

For those worried about growth in a small agency, we say this:

All aboard the ‘high-growth express’ (if you’re ready for it)

Joining a small agency like ours can feel like stepping onto a fast track for career development. Unlike larger firms with defined and often slow-moving career paths, a small agency offers an ever-changing, dynamic environment where growth is constant. The opportunities are there if you’re willing to seize them.

Experience a flatter structure

One of the key benefits of working in a small agency is the flatter hierarchy. With just 9 people on the team, you’re not bogged down by layers of management. Ideas are welcomed, creativity is encouraged, and every voice is heard. Those who thrive in this setting are usually the ones who are willing to step up, take ownership of projects, and get involved in all aspects of the business. Wearing multiple hats is the norm, and the skills you’ll gain here will serve you for years to come.

Visibility and impact

In a small team, everyone’s role has a significant impact. This means your efforts are not just noticed—they’re crucial to the success of the agency. If you’re someone who enjoys taking initiative and making a real difference, the visibility you’ll have at Digital 24 can lead to rapid recognition and career progression. We value people who can adapt, think on their feet, and deliver results.

An entrepreneurial spirit is key

In a small agency like ours, the potential for growth isn’t just a personal pursuit—it’s a team effort. We have an environment where entrepreneurial thinking is not only encouraged but essential. Those who push themselves and help their colleagues grow are the ones who make the biggest impact, both in their own careers and for the agency as a whole. By working together, we create a culture of growth that benefits everyone.

In short, working for a small agency can be an incredible growth opportunity for those who are innovative and proactive. It’s a space full of opportunity, creativity, and responsibility, where you can shape your own career path while contributing to the success of the entire team.
