When I first interviewed at APT, I actually had another job offer on the table. What stood out to me then and what I now value most about APT is the culture that it fosters. We work in a dynamic environment, with interesting and rewarding challenges and smart, energetic people, an environment where creativity and innovation are encouraged.
APT’s lack of a rigid organizational structure also allows for a flexibility that I think it’s hard to find elsewhere. At APT, I am able to take on roles or tasks that might not strictly be considered “marketing,” allowing me to stretch and grow. That flexibility also affords me the opportunity to work with great people in other areas of the organization that I might not have otherwise.
What I particularly value about APT is that the things I do on a day-to-day basis are both important and immediately impactful to the company. Working at APT allows me to continue to learn outside the classroom, not only by providing me with new and different challenges, but also through its encouragement of professional development.
All the free food doesn’t hurt, either!
Every day is a fresh and different challenge at APT in general and the marketing department in particular. On any given day, I might have to coordinate a marketing event, such as a trade show, write a press release, draft and edit collateral, write letters to executives at prospective client companies, edit our blogs or our website, and post interesting news articles on our social media pages. I love the dynamic environment that APT marketing has to offer.
In addition to my marketing responsibilities, I also have the opportunity to get deeply involved with our vertical teams, which each focus on a particular industry, for example restaurants, hospitality, retail, financial services, insurance or manufacturing.
Outside of work, I enjoy checking out some of the awesome bike trails that the DC area has to offer. I also love to read, cook, and go to Nationals and Capitols games!
