What to Expect

Wonderist Agency is a full-service marketing agency that supports 1,000+ dentists around the country. We pride ourselves on ditching the old fashioned marketing model of stock photos and templated sites. We strive to tell our clients’ stories with bespoke brands, impactful photo and video shoots, and stunning website design (Here is a great example of our work: www.valordentaltx.com)

We’re a team of over 70+ passionate marketers nestled in sunny San Diego. We are walking distance from local hangouts, bars, and the famed Liberty Station. While many companies simply check the required boxes when it comes to culture, a well-balanced team and positive office culture has been the core of our success from the start. We are a social team at heart, and that is one constant that hasn’t changed with all the movement this economy and industry has seen. We have embraced a hybrid work model where local team members come in at least two days a week. This allows us to work from home and have flexibility, without altogether forgoing the excitement and moments of collaboration and inspiration you can only get from in-person time. Not to mention, we also genuinely enjoy spending time together and socializing.

We celebrate new ideas and prioritize a culture of trust and respect where team members can grow and take risks. Each quarter we host events under our four cultural pillars; health & wellness, personal & professional development, social good, and social. We are proud to have been named one of San Diego Business Journal’s Best Places to Work in 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023, made the Inc 5000 Regionals Fastest Growing Companies 2021, 2022 and 2024, made the San Diego Business Journal’s Fastest Growing Private Companies list in 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023, made the Inc Best Workplaces list in 2024 and made the Inc. 5000 for the last 6 years (2019-2025)!

If you work at Wonderist, you likely enjoy a challenge, appreciate autonomy, actually care about clients, and are looking for a team that you can enjoy being part of.

This includes keyword research, on-page optimization, content strategy development, blog post creation, and promotion.

Core Competencies: What you’ll bring to the role

• Strategic Thinking and Planning: Demonstrated ability to develop and execute comprehensive marketing strategies aligned with business objectives. This includes conducting market research, analyzing competitive landscapes, identifying opportunities for growth, and developing data-driven marketing plans. "Big Picture" thinking is crucial for this role.
• Keen Analytical Skills: We measure everything we do by its ROI. You will need a deep understanding of marketing metrics and KPIs, along with the ability to dissect and solve problems through data. You will supervise campaign performance and determine when it’s time to pivot away from efforts that aren’t fruitful vs. when to double down on a campaign with killer ROI.
• Digital Marketing Expertise: "Big Picture" Thinking and Knowledge of Digital Marketing are essential. You will be asked questions about digital marketing (particularly SEO, PPC, and social media) and website content, as every service we offer ties into the next. You need to see the connections and make good choices for the agency as a whole. Presenting marketing strategy decks, you’ll need to tell a story that describes how our team will help achieve goals.
• Content Creation & Storytelling: Exceptional writing, editing, and storytelling skills with a portfolio showcasing the ability to create compelling and engaging content.
• Visual Design & Aesthetics: A strong eye for visual design and the ability to create visually appealing marketing materials that align with brand guidelines.
• Expert Organization: If someone asks you to describe yourself and you wouldn't say "organized," you need not apply. You must be organized and on top of all marketing initiatives, acting as a project manager to oversee deadlines and facilitate campaign updates. You need an exceptionally strong ability to multitask.
• Resourceful & Confident Self-Starter: Once you learn the ropes, we’ll expect you to own your area of responsibility. You will need to take the initiative to make decisions and recommendations, and follow up with stakeholders to progress projects. You will solve problems every single day, so we need someone with a solutions-oriented mind.
• Intuitive Communication: You must be personable, professional, and responsive. You’ll need to discern when an email will suffice and when a phone call is necessary. You’ll also be responsible for coordinating with other team members to ensure a seamless workflow.
• Knack for Relationship Building (Internal): Building trust with your colleagues is the foundation for a successful team. You must connect with colleagues, nurture relationships, and establish yourself as a collaborative partner. Through consistent communication, you’ll build rapport that fuels team success.
• Ability to Uphold Wonderist Agency's Commitments / Core Values: Take pride in your work and commit to being an agent of positive change. We need someone who takes any project, big or small, and puts everything they have into it. Mistakes are okay. Sloppiness is not.

Personality Musts:

Our perfect fit is someone who is a problem solver who understands the difference between “yes, and…” and “yes, but…”. You should be a hungry, scrappy personality with a positive attitude and aims to deliver. Working in the client service industry can mean going the extra mile, and we need someone who is always willing to rise to the occasion for our clients and strives to put forward beautiful work that exceeds client expectations. Someone who is detailed and organized, driven and displays vigor and comes ready to play every day. Confidence, self-discipline, and a congenial, curious mind are things we love and admire.
