Working remotely is all the rage. Both businesses and employees are experiencing the huge range of benefits that remote work has to offer.
From the business standpoint, companies can save money on office space, have a more focused workforce, experience less employee turnover and contribute to the sustainability of the planet, since people aren’t commuting to the office.
Employees can enjoy an improved work/life balance and be more productive because they have fewer distractions. This can help them accomplish more in a shorter time, experience less stress and be more engaged.
With these perks, it’s no surprise that remote work is catching on. In 2012, 39% of Americans reported that they worked from home at least some of the time. Today, 70% of employees work remotely at least once a week, and 53% are telecommuting at least half of the week.
Remote work is key to success at our digital marketing agency in Dallas. By opening up our positions to professionals all around the world, we’re able to find the best employees available. They enjoy the flexibility of working from home, and we’ve discovered that they are, indeed, more engaged and happier with their jobs. Happy employees = a better company!
However, we wouldn’t be able to thrive as a remote team without the best communication and workflow management tools and software at our disposal. Here are some of the essential tools for assembling a successful (and happy) remote marketing team.

Don’t worry if your team members seem to have lost some of their drive; it’s never too late to start cultivating passion in your company. Here are six tips to get you started.
Once again, Thanksgiving is here. It’s a time for hanging out with your family and friends, eating delicious turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce, watching the Macy’s parade and learning about our country’s history. It’s also a chance to reflect upon what you’re thankful for in your life.
Here at the madison/miles media digital marketing agency, we are thankful for a lot of things. We have a talented team filled with awesome people who are always willing to learn and grow.

Let me be the first to admit I have a major problem: I am absolutely awful at starting personal projects and not finishing them. Illustrations get half-way done and abandoned, comics get to the home stretch and then disappear … Why do I let these things happen?
What keeps going wrong? It pains me, but I seem unable to stop, like a compulsive project-killer maniac.
For years this answer plagued me, depressed me, and left me failing to realize my potential. But finally, the answer hit me in the face like a bucket of ice. What a wake-up call!
