Ingredients for a Best Place to Work: Image Source (asi/230121) is one of only two companies to appear 13 times on Counselor’s Best Places to Work – every year the list has been in existence. There’s a simple reason: great people. “The promotional marketing industry is fun, and our team reflects that,” says Marketing Coordinator Kaley DeWeese. “We’re a family that not only enjoys working together, but also celebrating team wins and spending time together.”
DeWeese says Image Source is comprised of “fun, out-of-the-box thinkers” who live up to the company’s numerous core values, which range from embracing individuality to inspiring people to “Make Mama Proud” by doing the right thing. “Our Image Source Core Values are a big part of our company’s culture,” says DeWeese, “and our team strives to meet and exceed these each day.”
