Oneupweb has nine openings to fill, decides to have career fair Aug. 30

It's been almost three years since Oneupweb last held a career fair, but the growing demand for digital marketing and innovators to fill client needs has prompted the Traverse City-based firm to host another.

The fair, which will take place Aug. 30, will allow prospective employees to meet with Oneupweb and founder and CEO Lisa Wehr. With nearly 100 percent increased revenue this past year, Oneupweb finds themselves with nine open positions and a desire to fill them all.

"Our growth makes us realize why we're still trailblazing the digital marketing world," says Wehr. "And we want to continue to shape the industry. This means we need to create and execute more ideas, which is why we are looking for additional team members to help us with our mission. The last time we held a career fair was in 2008 and we had more than 100 attendees; we're hoping to have even more this year."

The career fair will run from 10 a.m until 8 p.m. at their headquarters, located at 13561 S. West Bayshore Drive in Traverse City. Oneupweb's available positions include: Social Media Client Success Specialist, Data Analyst, Lead Generation Specialist, Interactive Web Developer, In-House Counsel, Object-Oriented Software Developer, PPC Client Success Specialist, Senior Web/Graphic Designer and SEO Client Success Specialist. "Recruitment in our industry can be challenging," explains Oneupweb director of human resources Anne Rix. "Especially since most of our competitors are based in major metros, like New York and Los Angeles; residing in Northern Michigan can seem daunting to some folks, but once people visit they instantly understand why we have chosen to keep our business here in Traverse City."

Not only do Oneupweb employees work hard to play hard--they also make sure to have fun at the office, with company BBQs and game days in their recreational room, which is fully stocked with ping-pong, vintage arcade games, Wii and more.

Those who are interested in attending or learning more about the 2011 Oneupweb Career Fair are invited to visit their website where an informational video can be viewed, and the list of available positions is displayed. For further information, please contact Rix via email.
