  Merrick Towle Communications offers a great deal more than just successful, integrated advertising solutions and its employees would all agree. A glimpse into the company beyond the lime green walls and sleek décor reveals a place as much devoted to employee satisfaction as it is to the work it produces.
Annette Picon, media director and eight-year employee, describes the atmosphere as “upbeat, energetic and creative.” More than just a place of employment, she describes her relationship with the company as a long- term investment of herself in which she receives as much as she gives.
 In order to instill a sense of unity among employees in all departments and boost morale, the company holds a series of events each month appropriately titled, “Operation Smiley Face.” These events range from socials after work, to luncheons, to birthday parties in which everyone is together. Also integrated into the workplace calendar is “Merrick Towle Gear Day” in which on the same day all employees wear apparel given to them by the company.
“We are one company with many different attributes but are all working toward a common goal,” Picon said.
To sum it up in five words, Picon’s employee profile located on the Merrick Towle Web site poses a simple question: “Best part of your job?” to which she responded: “Everything. I love it all.”
