MANAGE SUBSCRIPTIONS   |   UNSUBSCRIBE   |   VIEW ONLINE   The 10 most-liked advertising CEOs by Lara O'Reilly on Mar 1, 2017, 7:17 AM Advertisement As much as advertising can be a creative pursuit, it's a relationship business too. And advertising bosses aren't just required to keep their clients sweet — just like any CEO, they should also maintain a happy staff too. We asked Glassdoor, the careers site where employees can leave anonymous reviews about their employers, to see who the most popular CEOs are in the advertising business. The top 10 — which consists of leaders from all areas of the advertising industry — is ranking by the CEOs' Glassdoor approval rating. Methodology: Glassdoor's ranking was based on reviews published between 1/29/15 and 2/28/17 (so the approval ratings here may be different from those you see on the Glassdoor website, which aggregates every single CEO rating through history). Glassdoor tracked all sorts of advertising businesses including traditional agencies, performance marketing companies, and ad tech vendors. The ranking only looked at companies that have 30 or more employee reviews globally. As always with anonymous platforms, we can't ascertain the veracity of the reviews, but on aggregate, they still give a good indication as to where employees are happiest. 10. Grey Group CEO Jim Heekin Approval rating: 89% They said: Pros — "Great people and plenty of room to make your voice heard." "Fairly low-stress work environment." Cons — "A sweat shop – cannot believe some of the other comments posted here about work/life balance." "Long hours including weekends whenever they need you." 9. Videology CEO Scott Ferber Approval rating: 90% They said: Pros — "They strike a great work-life balance." "Fast-paced work environment; great company growth and success; lots of responsibility; room to grow; effort is rewarded; passionate execs." Cons — "Very fast-paced with little direction from senior management." "There are about 10x as many butts in seats as there are really smart people." Tied in 6th place. R/GA CEO Bob Greenberg Approval rating: 91% They said: Pros — "Super smart people challenging conventions." "Some talented people across the network." Cons — "Work-life balance could be better." "Be prepared for hard work and long hours."     See the rest of the story at Business Insider   Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
