EditorWho is POD MarketingPOD Marketing is a full-service digital marketing agency that offers clients a wide range of marketing solutions. Unlike other agencies, we specialize in specific industries, which makes us true experts in both digital marketing and the industries we serve.While we are committed to our clients, our number 1 priority has and always will be our employees. We believe this employee-obsessed approach is the biggest contributor to our company’s growth.

When giving feedback, you’re kind but clear. And of course, love and devotion for the oxford comma is an absolute must!Responsibilities
