Two Tone Dining Room Table

Business Niche
Working across multiple channels at once.
Account Executive Kaitlin Crocilla told Small Business Trends, "By building powerful connections across multiple channels, our team delivers engaging business solutions with measurable results to companies across the world."
How the Business Got Started
At a dining room table.
Crocilla says, "lotus823 had humble beginnings… namely, the dining room table. It was here where agency principals, David and Allison Hernandez, developed the idea of an integrated approach to marketing communications."
Biggest Win
Being recognized with several industry awards.
The marketing agency has won more than 40 awards through the years, including Inc. Magazine's Best Workplaces of 2019.
Biggest Risk
Breaking into a new space.
Crocilla explains, "Three years ago, we bought an agency specializing in home and housewares. It definitely caused disruption within our organization. Many things could have gone wrong, such as not working well with the previous owner and the VP."
However, the transition was successful. Three years later, the leadership team still works well together. Additionally, they all work well with the rest of the team too. As a bonus, the home and housewares sector of the business has grown.
How They'd Spend an Extra $100,000
Supporting the team.
Crocilla says that the company would love to add additional employee training programs. For example, some of the money could go toward starting a company-wide retreat. The leadership team understands that employees are vital to their success.
Office Environment
Open and flexible.
Crocilla explains, "The workplace and wellness benefits include unlimited paid time off, option of bringing pets to work, work-from-home schedules, casual dress code, offsite social events/outings, employee gym memberships, stress-relief breaks, and much more!"
The office also features an open floor plan. This makes it easy for team members to collaborate. And the company wants to support that culture of camaraderie.
