“All Work and No Play …”

As I’ve talked about before, culture plays a huge role in what we do at Outrank and ProfitFuel. One of our core values is balancing a strong work ethic with having fun. It’s a key factor to what has made us successful and enabled us to grow so quickly. In the last 12 months, we have doubled our number of employees. At the beginning of the week we merged with Yodle as they acquired ProfitFuel to attract a wider variety of clients. So now we have plans to again double in size over the course of the next year and a half! We’re excited that our mission and cultures are so similar and look forward to celebrating with our new family!

One of the ways we have developed such a strong culture is by fostering relationships in the workplace and rewarding team members for reaching significant milestones or surpassing designated goals. To celebrate, we plan happenings outside of the office. We do things like send top performers on trips and organize team builders.

We also just make time to relax and have fun together. As ProfitFuel has grown and we’ve extended our product Outrank.com to over 11,000 customers, the marketing department has kept pace with rapidly changing requirements and algorithms to ensure clients rank highly on local search engines. Recently, the team escaped to get in some bowling, pool, and mini glow golf!

You know what they say -
