Paid Search & Social Strategist (Contract)

About Us

Metric has been serving clients for more than 10 years, helping businesses grow through strategic marketing, design, and storytelling. We’ve been recognized nationally and regionally for our success, including being named to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing companies in the Midwest three times and receiving multiple regional awards for high growth and impact. We’ve worked with clients across industries—from law firms and biotech to consumer brands—and we continue to serve a strong portfolio of clients with excellence.

Authenticity has guided us for over a decade. Now, we’re embracing an even greater purpose: to devote ourselves to authentic marketing for authentic brands. We believe our work should do more than generate results; it should promote truth, integrity, and authenticity in the world.

We also believe the work we do carries weight. We are trusted with our clients’ brands, stories, and reputations. That requires not only technical skill, but also character, maturity, and integrity. Our culture is one of humility, growth, and wisdom. We seek people who are spiritually and personally mature—who listen deeply, serve others, and pursue wisdom while bringing their best every day.
