We were remote before remote was cool.

At SmartBug, we understand what it takes to succeed in a remote environment because we've been doing it since Day 1. Because we have the freedom to recruit SmartBugs from across the country and around the world, we've built a team of top-tier talent, versed in the industry's leading technology and committed to winning measurable results for all of our clients, across verticals of specialized expertise.

Certification Day

Every quarter, SmartBug presses pause on our usual hustle to deepen our respective areas of expertise. Our 300 subject matter experts are testing new tools, exploring the latest industry insights, and expanding their technical savvy to better serve our clients. That's nearly 2,500 hours of collective professional growth in one day! Over the course of the year, we'll dedicate almost 4,000 hours to upping our game.

SmartBugapalooza

Welcome to SmartBug's annual retreat: part training, part team building, all fun. Once a year, we bring all SmartBugs together to grow their skills, have some laughs, and energize the entire team. Smartbugaalooza is our five-star annual conference—a family reunion of sorts. It's one day of work and three days of fun. It’s a pull-out-all-the-stops, you’ll-remember-this-when-you’re-old-and-gray kind of event.

Client goals are our goals. We keep our promises, holding ourselves accountable to doing our best work, on time, all the time.

(For real.) We spend more time at work than anywhere else. It’s important to create memories with each other and our clients.
4

Innovate, always.

Good ideas can come from anywhere. Every voice is heard as we strive to find the best path forward.
5

Rock it.

Yea-ah. Our clients’ success is our success. We work hard to deliver top results and peace of mind.
6

Bend, don’t break.

Marketing, like life, brings variety. We don’t let speedbumps get in the way of goals.
7

Build belonging.

We’re our real, whole selves, every day. Our differences make us better.
