Join our team!

If you’re passionate about helping clients boost their bottom lines by building better, stronger, longer-lasting customer relationships, we’d like to hear from you.

Work and laughter should come in equal measure …

This is how we roll at CCG. How about you?

If you believe that work and laughter should come in equal measure, then you just might be our kind of person.

CCG is a customer relationship marketing agency focused on loyalty, retention and direct marketing using electronic and print channels. We get goose bumps over talented, driven individuals who enjoy pushing themselves to new heights of excellence — and who can reach out to help their colleagues get there, too.

As such, we believe in personal growth and ongoing training opportunities. We’re jazzed about star soloists who also make dependable team players and those who aren’t too wrapped up in the fine lines between “my job” and “someone else’s job.”

We offer competitive compensation packages, including profit sharing. And when we achieve our “stretch goals,” the whole agency takes off on a team-building trip to exciting destinations like Mexico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic!
