Find Your Perfect Spot
We’re not your average marketing firm. We’re a little different—okay, we’re a lot different. There aren’t too many firms out there where you can acquire a stock interest, develop your own entrepreneurial niche, and get free concert tickets! Of course, we also have all the standard perks like insurance, 401k, and paid time off.
We also have a team of capable, ambitious people who work hard building relationships with our clients, listeners, and community. We’re casual yet professional. We work hard, but we play harder. We might drop an occasional swear word. We might have beer in the lunchroom fridge. We’re family!
DISCOVERY CALL! Feel free to reach out to one of the team leaders to schedule a 15-minute chat to see if we fit your style.
Check out our open positions, but if you have an idea and think you'll fit a role you don't see listed, reach out, and let's talk. We love innovation and always have an eye toward market expansion.

You are not the average project manager. You solve problems people don’t even know they have. You are the organizer who excels with sheer management skills and brings structure to everything you do.
If you were in a software development cycle, you’d be AGILE. Your favorite formation on the rugby field is SCRUM. You want to build systems from the ground up and blow it up if it isn’t working. You have your G.S.D. degree…you get shit done. You love to call balls and strikes.
You possess the ability to manage complex projects from start to finish with precise schedules and costs. Like a line cook during a dinner rush, you can cook burgers, saute vegetables, and fry cheese curds, all while four servers are at the hot counter asking for different sauces. Oh, and someone didn’t want salt on their fries. You smile and say, “What’s for dessert?”
You are comfortable working in a highly creative environment. This is a marketing firm, for goodness' sake. Responsibility is your battle cry.

Who is Mid-West Family?
We are an independent, employee-owned marketing firm headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin.
Our mission is to serve our communities, listeners, and advertisers. We carry out our mission with a full suite of traditional and digital marketing tools. When we say tools, we don’t mean shiny petite screwdrivers. We’re talking about a souped up power drill with radio antennas big enough to reach Mars. Or at least Milwaukee. We own eight radio stations, employ unique on-air personalities that actually influence our local communities, and of course, win impressive broadcasting awards.
Tireless promoters of community involvement and philanthropy; we are committed to serving our community. It’s more than an obligatory half-day serving soup, it’s countless hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars donated to local causes. The money raised here stays here.
Within the guitar-covered walls of our custom-designed building, there is a candid and diverse company culture afoot. Minimal hierarchy where everyone’s voice has a place. We may even let you voice a radio commercial.
We are outgoing entertainment industry professionals, compassionate creative leaders, digital-savvy marketers, with a dedicated management team to help reinforce a work-hard-play-hard atmosphere envied by all.
We are the people who rock out at a late-night concert, but get up the next morning for a meeting.
If we were a haircut, we’d be a mullet — business upfront and an after party!
