Company Structure Ellie is a socially responsible for-profit business, which allows us to be flexible and responsive to our community's needs. Many mental health and wellness-focused companies are non-profits or government agencies, which rely on the general public, grants, or large donors for funding. This model often results in little creativity and lower compensation for employees, promoting a work culture that just makes people feel “blah.” Feeling blah doesn't help employees stay motivated, engaged, or even in their jobs for a very long time! So we created a new model: one that puts flexibility, innovative decision-making, creativity, and our people first, while remaining a socially conscious and responsible for-profit business focused on changing how we treat mental health. In short, we're just people helping people. Wanna join the herd?

About Argon AgencyIn the ashes of 2020, a team of creatives came together and noticed a void in the digital marketing realm. A black hole, if you will. Traditional digital marketing was a series of smoke screens, empty promises, one size fits all cookie cutter campaigns, and charts and graphs that look pretty, but don't actually mean much. There had to be a better way. There had to be a way to provide clear, customized marketing campaigns that provided results, not just pretty charts and vague answers as to where a budget went. From that realization was born Argon Agency. Disclaimer: Not all roles listed are internal roles. Argon Agency acts as an employment recruiter, connecting qualified candidates with potential employers. We do not guarantee job placement and are not responsible for employer hiring decisions. All hiring and employment terms are determined by the employer. Our Process: Your application will be reviewed by our hiring team. If we identify that you will be a possible fit for the role we will conduct a phone screening to determine next steps. We appreciate your patience.
