We’ve Achieved the Good Work Pledge

Here at ROAR Digital Marketing, we’re happy to announce that the North East Combined Authority has awarded us the Standard Good Work Pledge. We’re incredibly proud of being recognised as a business that values its workforce and strives to do good in the community, and we hope to continue striving towards this goal in the future.

Who are the North East Combined Authority? 

The North East Combined Authority (North East CA) is led by an Elected Mayor and Cabinet and covers a region of approximately 2 million people across the seven local authority areas of

County Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside, and Sunderland.

We were awarded the Standard Good Work Pledge based on three pillars: 

Valuing and Rewarding Your Workforce

Not only do we pay our employees a fair living wage, but we also promote job security and value within the team by investing in their growth and development through training opportunities and industry events. Our goal is to nurture our team’s talent and help them flourish in their career. 

Effective Communication and Representation 

Our employees, from junior to senior level, are always listened to and made to feel valued. We believe that giving everyone in the team a voice and allowing them to have a say in everything from the training they receive to how we run aspects of the business helps to grow confidence and, in turn, a happy working environment. 

Social Responsibility

Not only do we value our workforce, but we also believe that as a business, we have a responsibility to the environment and the local and wider community. We do this through charity work and our partnership with Ecologi, which has allowed us to plant over 1,000 trees, remove one tonne of CO2 from the air, and avoid a further eight tonnes while also restoring 10 metres squared of natural habitat. 

Not only this, we have also used our digital marketing expertise to help local charities grow. In recent times, we have supported the  Great North Air Ambulance Service in migrating to GA4 in order to help them carry on the life-saving work they do and also supported other local charities that we feel passionate about, such as North East Youth and Space to Think.

Charity work is extremely important to us, and we will continue prioritising it in the future to make our amazing community a better place to live. 

A Comment From our Director

Speaking on being awarded the Good Work Pledge, Michael, our director said:

“Building a business that has meaning, purpose, and, above all, values is important to me. Ensuring that I do the things I believe a good employer should do for my team and then being recognised for this is something I take great pride in. Working environment, pay, feeling valued, and development are so important for people both at the beginning of careers and beyond, so making sure I do this for my team has always been at the heart of ROAR.

Over time, getting involved with charities and supporting them in any way we can is a great feeling and something my team shares a passion for. This isn’t something we can do 24/7, but whenever the opportunity arises, we like to do our bit for great causes. I’m passionate about instilling this passion in my team by allowing them to suggest causes they’d love us to get behind now and in the future.”

Overall, being recognised for such an achievement has only confirmed our determination to make ROAR an amazing place to both work and collaborate with and to continue with our charity work to make the North East a better place to live.
