BIRMINGHAM, Mich., Aug. 20, 2018—Crain’s Detroit Business has named Brogan & Partners among the state’s 2018 Coolest Places to Work. Winners are selected based on employee submissions.
“Our mission isn’t to create great advertising; great advertising is a product of our mission—which is creating an inspiring workplace and culture,” said Ellyn Davidson, president of Brogan. “We do this by focusing on making a positive difference in people’s lives, starting with our employees. Great creative follows.”
Brogan fuels its mission with an annual commitment to give back 5 percent of revenues in volunteer hours, board commitments, pro bono work and financial contributions. Employees are given a paid day off annually to volunteer in their communities. The agency also hosts an annual fundraiser for Game on Cancer, a Henry Ford Health System initiative to provide aid to patients and fund research.
The agency is headquartered in downtown Birmingham, a walkable neighborhood community with parks, restaurants and retail stores. Employees are incented and rewarded for exercise with a monthly gym stipend, Tracksuit Tuesdays, walking meetings and participating in HAP’s iStrive for Better Health program. The fridge is stocked with healthy snacks and beverages and a manicurist visits weekly to treat staff.
Annual mystery trips take Brogan employees to far-flung locations like Bermuda, Amsterdam and Costa Rica in the name of comradery, discovery and celebration. Local mystery trips are also common, half-day adventures at places like escape rooms, outdoor camps and unconventional city tours.
