TorchLight Hire

On this International Women's Day, we want to acknowledge all the women who fight for equality every day, whether it's in the office, on the soccer field, in the home, domestically and abroad or anywhere else women take action in the name of equality. Whether it's to ensure we leave a more equal world for our daughters, we (finally) crack the glass ceiling, or we reach our own heights, we see you, we hear you and we fight alongside you. TorchLight Hire was founded in 2012 to help a working mom find a more balanced life: a remote opportunity with flexible working hours so she could spend time with her 2 young children and still have meaningful work. Fast forward 13 years and many other working moms have enjoyed the flexiblity to be present with their families but also contribute and grow their careers. We recently celebrated our 13th birthday but here are a few pictures of past celebrations of the (mostly) women of TorchLight Hire and TorchLight Marketing. We also appreciate the men who have joined us along the way and supported our vision for an equal world. #internationalwomensday #worklifebalance #torchlighthire #torchlightmarketing #workingmoms

GET REAL – Want a high-performing marketing team? It takes more than great hires - you need the right agency partner, too. Building a high-performing marketing team isn’t just about hiring great talent - it’s about ensuring they have the right agency partners to amplify their impact. At TorchLight Hire, I help marketing and comms leaders build A+ teams. And at TorchLight Marketing, I help grow those teams' capabilities through smart, results-driven media strategies. Because even the best internal team can only go so far without the right external partners supporting them. ? Great marketing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. The most successful teams combine smart, creative, adaptable talent inside the organization with external agency partners who bring fresh thinking, expert execution, and a data-driven outside perspective. ? That’s why?TorchLight Hire and TorchLight Marketing?work together to help brands build the ultimate internal + external dream team - because when your people and your partners are fully aligned, that’s when the magic happens. ? Here’s what it takes to make that happen: ?? Clear goals + shared vision?– Internal teams and agency partners should work from the same roadmap, with total alignment on KPIs, audience insights, and what success looks like. ?? The right talent in the right roles?– Whether in-house or agency-side, every player needs to know their lane and own it. At TorchLight Hire, we help you find those rockstars. At TorchLight Marketing, we make sure your media and marketing strategy is bulletproof. ?? Real partnership, not just transactions?– The best agencies act like true extensions of your internal team, bringing proactive ideas, honest feedback, and a shared investment in your success. That’s the TorchLight Marketing way - we keep it REAL. ?? A balance of strategy + execution?– Big ideas only matter if they get executed well and fast. Great agencies help internal teams connect the dots between strategy, creative, media, and performance. ?? Agility + accountability?– Marketing changes fast. You need a team (inside and out) that can pivot quickly and a partner that’s accountable for results every step of the way. ? The bottom line? Hiring great talent is essential - but pairing that talent with the right agency partner is the game-changer. If your internal team is struggling because your agency isn’t delivering (or vice versa), it’s time to rethink the whole equation. #GetReal #TorchLightHire #TorchLightMarketing #MarketingLeadership #HiringMarketingTalent #MarketingRecruiting #TeamSuccess

GET REAL – Embracing Change to Build a Unified Culture Mergers can be both exciting and nerve-wracking.? ? When TorchLight Hire and Big Lens (now TorchLight Marketing) came together, we knew we had an opportunity to build something special—but also a challenge ahead. ? Two companies. Two cultures. Two specialties. How do we make two feel like one? ? Looking back, the key to our success was shared values and a “Get Real” mindset. Despite differences, what united us was our commitment to real service, real industry expertise, and an authentic people-first approach.? ? Building that unity didn’t happen overnight. ? Here’s what helped: ?Meeting Cadence: Finding the right balance between structured collaboration and avoiding meeting fatigue in a fully remote team. ? ? In-Person Connection: Some were hesitant about quarterly retreats, but after dancing, singing, and truly connecting, even the skeptics saw the value. ? Now, two years later, our team describes how they feel: energized, empowered, grateful, and excited. The synergy we hoped for is now our reality. ? ?? For leaders navigating a merger—communicate. If you don’t, your team will fill in the blanks on their own. ? ?? For team members—stay open, ask questions, and embrace change. The best may be yet to come! ? ??

Last week, our team gathered in Virginia for our quarterly offsite, kicking off the new year with fresh perspectives, deep strategy sessions, and plenty of celebration. We dove into planning for the future, setting ambitious goals, and identifying initiatives that will fuel our continued growth and innovation. A key theme throughout? Differentiation. In an industry filled with smoke and mirrors, TorchLight stands apart because we are real. We are transparent. No unnecessary layers—just smart, strategic work from people who genuinely care about driving results. We also explored the evolving role of AI—how it will shape not just our industry but the world at large. As technology advances, our commitment to combining data-driven insights with real human expertise remains stronger than ever. And we had even more to celebrate—TorchLight turned 13!?It’s been an incredible journey, and we couldn’t be prouder of the work we’ve done or the people who’ve been part of our story. A huge thank you to our team and everyone who has supported us along the way! We’re energized and ready to take on the year ahead—bringing innovation, real impact, and true partnerships every step of the way. #TeamWork #StrategicPlanning #AIInnovation #CompanyMilestone #TorchLightHire #TorchLightMarketing #TorchLightCompanies

Today, we reflect on the powerful words and actions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and service continues to inspire us all. Dr. King once said, “The time is always right to do what is right.” In the face of challenges, we must continue to strive for a more inclusive and equitable world—both in our communities and in the workplace. As professionals, we can honor his vision by fostering environments where everyone is heard, valued, and allowed to thrive. Let’s use today as a reminder to not only reflect but to take action. #MLKDay #Leadership #Equality #DiversityAndInclusion #TorchLightHire #TorchLightMarketing #TorchLightCompanies
