Meet Metric’s Always-Remote Team: Dani
How do you do your best work?
Maybe you like the energy of a crowded, bustling cafe (you know, the type with dogs or folks on first dates). Perhaps you’re more productive when locked in a windowless room with only your favorite podcast for company.
Everyone works differently, which is why Metric embraces a remote work model that allows our team to work together from anywhere. They can collaborate at a co-working space, take a trip and dial-in digitally, visit our client’s campuses in person, and connect online whenever they need throughout the workday.
This intentionally agile approach helps everyone do their best work and showcases our three key pillars: balance, passion and camaraderie.
For Marketing Strategists, Flexibility Creates Opportunity
Every single private and independent school is different. They each have their own unique strengths, advantages, focuses and goals. It’s up to our marketing strategists to identify what those differentiators are, who will benefit from hearing about them, and how they should be showcased. This requires research, insight, teamwork, creative ideation and refinement — it’s a whole lot of work!
And Metric’s workplace flexibility can play a big role in helping them succeed.
Instead of being told that they must work only in one place, in a certain way or with specific colleagues, Metric strategists are given the freedom to complete their objectives in ways that empower them to produce the best results.
This approach helps them to better focus, create, and collaborate – which leads to better results for our private schools, who also appreciate an open-minded approach to learning and growth.
Meet Dani: Metric’s Dynamic and Enterprising Marketing Strategist
A homegrown graduate of Red River College Polytechnic’s Creative Communications program in Winnipeg, Canada, Dani has absolutely embraced our flexible model. In fact, her first few weeks with us saw her logging on from New Zealand. Since then, Dani has been an effective contributor and seamless collaborator from Vancouver, Italy, Ireland, the United States, Morocco, Portugal and more. At last count, she’s been to 15 different countries during her time here at Metric – working full-time every step of the way.
“Remote work gives me the freedom to explore, stay creative, and design a lifestyle that actually works for me,” says Dani. “The trust and flexibility makes a difference in how inspired and motivated I feel.”
And it’s not just beneficial for travelling Canadians.
“It also opens up opportunities for Metric to build more diverse, balanced teams – wherever you’re from,” she says.
Having a team with so many different perspectives, experiences, backgrounds, and talents means the results we can offer our clients are that much stronger. Our success – and that of our individual team members and schools – is a product of the collective efforts of these passionate people, who are each invested in the outcome of their work.
“I love that we get to see projects through from strategy to execution, and really own our client work,” says Dani. “Everyone here is so smart, kind, and genuinely fun to work with.”
It Works for Dani, It Works for Our Clients – and It Can Work for You
How we each do our best work may differ, but what’s important to Metric is that we empower our team to do just that: their best work.
Remote work is just one piece of that commitment to continuous evolution. We will never stop looking for ways to improve our team’s ability to focus, perform, and connect with both each other and our clients.
It really does work.
Or as Dani puts it, “It’s just a better way to work, period.”
