Thanks to accelerated growth, Chacka also hired nine new employees in 2016. In recognition of the agency's impressive growth and collaborative workplace culture, Chacka received numerous accolades in 2016, including being named one of Advertising Age's Best Places to Work, one of the Best & Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation and awarded as a Best in Biz Award Gold Winner for Advertising or Marketing Agency of the Year.

To help achieve growth goals for 2017, Chacka recently selected Megan Phelan as Director of Programmatic to further develop its programmatic display marketing practice. This key hire aligns with Chacka's ongoing commitment to automation, innovation, employee development and overall organizational success, along with other central initiatives, including the continued rollout of ChackAcademy, the agency's advanced employee training portal.
