Company culture could make or break your business. How do you develop an outstanding culture and use it to drive your company forward?

When Marc Reifenrath and his friends started Spinutech in college, they created the company as a resume-builder. However, their passion for the industry grew substantially each year, and now Spinutech is one of the premier full-service digital marketing agencies in the country. The secret behind all of this growth? Strong company culture and core values. You can’t fake culture and shouldn’t change your values for anyone else. To become an industry leader, you must know who you are and use it to drive every action and decision.

In this episode, Chad Franzen of Rise25 interviews Marc Reifenrath, Co-founder and CEO of Spinutech, to talk about everything from culture to core values.
