GREENSBORO, N.C. (PRWEB) April 26, 2021 - Pace, the largest woman-owned independent full-service marketing agency in North America, was named among Ragan Communications Top Places to Work Class of 2021. Recognition was given to organizationswithin the communications spacethat embody workplace cultures that champion their talent with meaningful work, growth opportunities and community engagement, and even more so amid COVID-19.

Pace is famous for its fanatical client service. But were also fanatical about offering our talent the very best place to be creative and flourish, says Leigh Ann Klee, president and chief operating officer. Klee continues, Our agencys way of working is to work with heart, and we understand that we cant expect our talent to work with heart if we dont integrate heart into everything we do as an organization. Gordon Locke, president and chief marketing officer adds, Despite having distributed people and offices, and the capabilities of remote work long before COVID-19 came into the picture, the pandemic did challenge us to use our resiliency to find new ways to continue what makes Pace such a vibrant place to workand our team made it happen with such commitment.

Employees at Pace come from all walks of life and work across many time zones for clients in 17 different industries; therefore, it has always been important for the agency to create an environment that feels connected and like that of a family. Every manager Ive had at Pace has been fully invested in their job here, and that has translated to engaging with me to support my success. That was true in my start as an Associate Editor a handful of years out of college, and its true today as a group creative director helping lead a portfolio of work, says Britta Waller Melton, who has been with Pace for 23 years.

Jaimey Easler, group creative director, and Lymari Miranda, senior art director, second Waller Meltons sentiment and reinforce the role of colleagues and leadership in creating a work environment that feels genuinely supportive. Easler has been with Pace for close to 30 years, while Miranda joined in 2010. She further explains, Not only is there someone always there to help and uplift you during the day-to-day, but were always looking for ways to stay connected to one another. And this is not just at the individual level, but its also at the organizational level. There are so many examples of Pacers coming together, whether its our United Way campaigns or food drives, were always looking for ways to support each other and our community.
