“In my role, I optimize websites to improve search engine rankings, thereby driving online traffic and revenue for our clients.” – Madina
“I perform a variety of tasks, including outreach to affiliates to grow our clients’ affiliate programs, building text links for affiliates to promote on their individual sites, and building newsletters to send out weekly to our affiliates. I continue to learn and take on new tasks each week.” – Jake

Q. What makes Rise stand out as a workplace?
“Rise is not only an incredible place to work, but it is unique. Everyone here goes above and beyond to help the agency continue to grow and remain one of the best places to work. Every team is willing to work with other teams – whether it is problem solving or testing out new and innovative ideas for our clients. Working at Rise has been one of the greatest learning experiences I have had thus far. I truly learn something new every day and get to apply it to my work.” – Jake

“As cheesy as it might sound, my teammates at Rise motivate me. They encourage me to push myself, continue learning the field of affiliate marketing, and to be more confident in myself. I came into this job knowing quite little about affiliate marketing and my team urged me to dive into the deep end. In other words, it is really motivating to have a team that continuously encourages me to face new challenges and become a stronger asset to our team.”
