"The kind of team where your work matters and your people have your back."

Great agencies are built by great people.

The Vibe

What It's Actually Like Here

We're a lean, senior team that does real work for real businesses. No layers of bureaucracy, no politics — just smart people solving hard problems and having fun doing it.

"We built Ritner Digital for the businesses that got burned by the last agency. That means we need people who actually care about the work — not just the paycheck."

If you want to work at a place where your ideas matter, your work is visible, and the people around you make you better — you'll like it here.

🥪 We're the team that debates hoagie rankings in Slack, sends the funny TikTok during a long afternoon, and genuinely celebrates each other's wins.
🤙 No layers between you and the work. No layers between you and the team. Everyone here contributes, everyone learns, and everyone has a voice.
🦅 We take our work seriously. Ourselves? Not so much. Oh, and — Go Birds.
Beyond the Resume

What We Look For

Skills can be taught. These can't. Here's what actually matters when we're deciding who to bring onto the team.

🧠

Emotional Intelligence

Marketing has fires. A website goes down. Ads get disapproved. A client's revenue is directly impacted and they're on the phone. We need people who can take a deep breath, stay calm, and troubleshoot — not panic. The ability to be steady under pressure isn't a nice-to-have here. It's essential.

🔑

Ownership

We don't micromanage. When something is yours, it's yours — the strategy, the execution, and the outcome. We want people who don't wait to be told what to do next. If something's broken, fix it. If something's unclear, ask. If something could be better, say so.

🔍

Curiosity

Marketing changes constantly. The platforms shift, the algorithms update, AI rewrites the rules. We need people who are genuinely curious — who read the changelog, test the new feature, and bring ideas to the team before anyone asks them to.

💬

Directness

We say what we mean — to clients and to each other. If a campaign isn't working, we don't sugarcoat it. If you disagree with the approach, speak up. We'd rather have an uncomfortable five-minute conversation now than a painful three-month cleanup later.

🛠️

Problem-Solving Under Pressure

A client's site goes down at 4pm on a Friday. An ad account gets flagged. Tracking breaks mid-campaign. These things happen in marketing — and they directly impact revenue. We need people who can diagnose, communicate, and fix — in that order — without losing their cool.

🤝

Give a Damn

This is the simplest one and the hardest to fake. We want people who genuinely care — about the quality of their work, about the client's business, about the team. If you're just here for a paycheck, that's fine, but it's not a fit.

Behind the Scenes

A Day in the Life

There's no "typical" day — but here's what the rhythm usually looks like. Enough structure to stay aligned, enough flexibility to do your best work.

9:00 AM — Morning Kickoff

Quick Slack standup. What you're working on, what's blocked, anything the team needs to know. Five minutes, no fluff.

🎯

9:30 AM — Deep Work Block

This is where the real work happens. Building campaigns, writing content, designing pages, optimizing accounts. Slack goes quiet. Focus mode.

📞

12:00 PM — Client Calls & Syncs

Strategy reviews, progress updates, or kickoff calls. You're on the call — not an account manager relaying your notes.

🥪

1:00 PM — Lunch & the Slack Chaos

Grab food. Catch up on the memes channel. Argue about whether Wawa or Sheetz is better. (It's Wawa. This isn't a debate.)

🔄

2:00 PM — Iteration & Collaboration

Review work, swap feedback, polish deliverables. This is where good work becomes great — the second pass, the peer review, the "what if we tried this instead."

📊

4:00 PM — Wrap-Up & Planning

Update Asana, queue up tomorrow's priorities, flag anything that needs attention. Log off knowing exactly where you stand.

🔥

The Occasional Fire

Sometimes a site goes down or an ad account gets flagged. The schedule goes out the window. You take a breath, diagnose the problem, communicate with the client, and fix it. That's agency life — and it's why we value people who stay cool when things get hot.

What to Expect

Your First 90 Days

We don't throw you into the deep end without a plan. Here's what onboarding actually looks like — so you know exactly what to expect.

01

Week 1–2: Learn

Get the lay of the land. Meet the team, learn the tools, get access to everything. You'll get briefed on every client — their business, their goals, what's been tried, and what's working. No deliverables expected yet. Just absorb.

✓ Team introductions & tool setup ✓ Client portfolio deep-dives ✓ Process & workflow walkthroughs ✓ Shadow calls & client meetings
02

Week 3–6: Contribute

Start getting your hands dirty. You'll pick up tasks, contribute to live campaigns, and start building deliverables with support from senior team members. Feedback is constant — not because we're watching, but because that's how good work gets made.

✓ Own tasks on live client accounts ✓ Regular feedback & check-ins ✓ Join client-facing calls ✓ Build your first deliverables
03

Month 2–3: Own

By now, you're running. You own workstreams, manage deliverables independently, and have real relationships with clients. You're not shadowing anymore — you're leading. And the team is there when you need backup.

✓ Own full workstreams & channels ✓ Lead client communication ✓ Contribute to strategy & planning ✓ 90-day review & growth planning

Internships

Start Your Career Here

We bring in hungry, talented students who want real agency experience — not coffee runs and busywork. Our interns work on live client accounts alongside senior team members. And since we're a remote-flexible team, we accept strong talent from universities across the country — not just the Philly area.

Real Work. Real Experience.

Our internship program is built for students at schools like Rowan, Temple, Rutgers, and other universities across the Philadelphia and South Jersey region. Whether you're studying marketing, communications, design, or business — if you're curious, hard-working, and want to learn how modern digital marketing actually works, we want to hear from you.

Interns at Ritner Digital don't sit on the sidelines. You'll contribute to real campaigns, attend client meetings, build actual deliverables, and leave with a portfolio of work you can point to — not just a line on a resume.

Common Questions

About Joining The Team

Not necessarily. We're based in Philadelphia and love working with local talent, but many of our roles are remote-flexible. What matters is the quality of your work and your ability to communicate — not your zip code. That said, if you're in the Philly area, we'll definitely grab coffee.

It's straightforward. We start with a conversation — no trick questions, no panel interviews. We'll talk about your experience, what you're looking for, and whether there's a mutual fit. For some roles we'll ask you to walk through a past project or do a small exercise. The whole process usually takes 1–2 weeks.

Yes. We're growing and roles open up regularly. If you think you'd be a great fit for Ritner Digital, send us a note and your resume. We'd rather know about you now than miss you later.

Internships typically run during the academic semester or summer and can be part-time or full-time depending on your schedule. You'll be paired with a senior team member, work on real client projects, and leave with actual experience and a portfolio. We welcome students from local schools like Temple, Rowan, Rutgers, Drexel, and others — but since we're remote-flexible, we're open to great talent from anywhere.

It depends on the role. For full-time positions, we generally look for 1–5+ years of relevant experience. For internships, we care more about curiosity, work ethic, and willingness to learn than a perfect resume. Across the board, we value people who are honest, self-directed, and genuinely passionate about doing good work.

When the fit is right, absolutely. Several of our internships have led to full-time roles. If you do great work and we have a position that matches your skills, there's a real path to staying on.
