The James Agency Named to Inc.’s 2025 List of Best Workplaces

PHOENIX (June 17, 2025) — The James Agency (TJA), Scottsdale’s leading, fully integrated marketing agency, has been named to Inc.’s annual Best Workplaces list for the second year in a row. This year’s list, featured on Inc.com, is the result of a comprehensive measurement and evaluation of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company cultures.

After collecting data from thousands of submissions, Inc. selected 514 honorees this year. Employees at The James Agency took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, covering critical topics such as management effectiveness, employee perks, professional development and overall company culture. The organization’s benefits were also audited to determine an overall score and ranking.

This recognition is especially meaningful as TJA celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025 — a milestone achieved by only 20% of businesses. This month, the agency marked the occasion with an all-company trip to Cabo San Lucas, a reflection of its people-first mentality and commitment to creating rewarding, shared experiences. As the agency reflects on two decades of creative growth and industry evolution, its dedication to cultivating an empowered, connected team remains its driving force.

TJA boasts industry-defying retention rates for its employees, offering collaborative and fun incentives for employees to stay engaged, including:

• Monday morning “Hustle” meetings to kickstart each week, during which employees express gratitude and set the tone for the week
• Generous PTO, including one full week off to “recharge” during Fourth of July
• “Level Up Bucks,” which allow employees to spend company dollars on the conferences, seminars and events important to them to level-up their knowledge and skills
• Regular “joy rides,” which include celebrations for personal employee milestones, a chance to unwind with activities, or fun pick-me-up snacks, all crafted by TJA’s office concierge
• Quarterly meetings, during which employees can gain new industry insights and dive deep into the inner workings of TJA, while completing the day with a team build

“Every element of our culture is built with intention, because we believe that culture tops strategy," said Veronique James, CEO of The James Agency. “Reaching our 20th anniversary and being named to Inc.’s Best Workplaces list in the same year is incredibly special. It’s a reflection of what we’ve prioritized since day one — putting people first. When you create a space where employees feel seen, supported and challenged, the results speak for themselves.”

The accolade highlights The James Agency’s unwavering commitment to nurturing a positive workplace culture where creativity and collaboration thrive.

“Inc.’s Best Workplaces program celebrates the exceptional organizations whose workplace cultures address their employees’ welfare and needs in meaningful ways,” said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “As companies expand and adapt to changing economic forces, maintaining such a culture is no small feat. Yet these honorees have not only achieved it — they continue to elevate the employee experience through thoughtful benefits, engagement and a deep commitment to their teams.”
