PHILADELPHIA, PA – Strategic media healthcare agencies CMI Media Group & Compas, a WPP company (NYSE: WPP), are proud to be Certified™ by Great Place To Work® for the third year in a row. The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at CMI Media Group and Compas. This year, 87% of employees say it is a great place to work compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company.

Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

“Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. She emphasizes that Certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that CMI Media Group and Compas stand out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.”

CMI Media Group is the premier global media agency exclusively serving healthcare. Compas, CMI Media Group’s sister agency, is the largest corporate buyer of pharmaceutical and healthcare-related media. The agency has seen remarkable employee growth, from 1,029 to 1,196 full-time team members. The company’s full commitment to fostering talent is evident in the 282 promotions awarded to CMI Media Group & Compas in 2024 alone. Low turnover and high boomerang rates speak volumes about the supportive and inclusive culture cultivated throughout their multiple office locations, in the U.S. and internationally. Employees are an active part of building culture, including nine Employee Resource Groups and CREW (Colleagues Rallying for an Exceptional Welcome), which comprises respected and tenured employees hand-picked by executive leadership who formally support the mission of providing an exceptional welcome for new hires across the agencies’ U.S. office locations.

“Achieving Great Place To Work Certification for the third year running is incredibly meaningful because it comes directly from our employees – the heart and soul of CMI Media Group and Compas. This recognition isn’t just about a score; it’s a testament to the collaborative, supportive, and growth-oriented environment we strive to cultivate every single day. It reinforces our belief that by truly listening to our teams and investing in their well-being and development, we build a workplace where everyone can thrive and contribute to our shared success,” said Julie Missaggia, Chief People Officer, CMI Media Group and Compas.

Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits and have a fair chance at promotion.
