It&#8217;s a fun and positive work environment; everyone is always willing to help each other, offer support and answer questions. They are super flexible and willing to work with you.\u00a0 Everyday it&#8217;s something new and keeps me busy. I might be calling or emailing current customers to help with new ad needs. I could be working on a special section. Sometimes I&#8217;m building an advertising package for a customer, with scheduled run dates, sizes, etc. while trying to stay within their budget. Or I might be on the road, stopping in to introduce myself and leaving my business card. I love meeting new people! I enjoy feeling like I am helping businesses with their advertising needs and building relationships with them. It&#8217;s a great sense of accomplishment when they see their final ad and are happy with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Chris Knott\u2013joined the company in May 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cThe enthusiasm for working at O&#8217;Rourke Media stems from Jim, the owner, and his unwavering commitment to find and retain great people.
