The Lockwood Group (Lockwood), a science-based medical communications agency, was officially selected as one of MM&M's Best Places to Work in 2018. Highlighting some of the most prominent and progressive agencies in the healthcare industry, the award recognizes companies that have been successful in listening to and empowering their staff, taking their workplace culture to a whole new level. Lockwood is 1 of only 3 agencies to earn the distinction in the midsize category.
The winners of MM&M's inaugural Best Places to Work initiative were determined through a survey conducted by MM&M, with the highest scores advancing to be reviewed by a panel of staff and external judges—experts in talent recruitment within the healthcare marketing sector—to select the winners.
The agency, led by President and CEO Matthew Schecter, is very proud of this award, as the company has grown to be one of the largest privately held agencies in the industry. The group has grown to more than 200 people, with over a third holding advanced scientific or medical degrees, an especially rare accomplishment in today's competitive marketplace.
"We are honored to be recognized by MM&M for a strength that is essential to our success. In a highly competitive job market with less than 2% unemployment rate for college-educated professionals, we are especially focused on cultivating a workplace environment that not only retains our great talent, but also motivates new growth and empowers all to go above and beyond for our clients," says Schecter.
