Charleston — Digital Relativity, a full-service marketing agency based in West Virginia, has earned a spot on Inc.’s 2026 Best Workplaces list for the third consecutive year. Digital Relativity is the only West Virginia-based company named to the 2026 list. The annual recognition honors companies that have built exceptional workplaces and strong company cultures.
The achievement highlights the agency’s continued commitment to fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment. Founded in 2011, Digital Relativity recently celebrated its 15th year in business. From the beginning, the agency has prioritized creating a workplace where employees feel valued and supported, enabling them to produce their best work.
“Winning this recognition again is so meaningful to me. People on our team who are 20-plus years into their careers are telling us this is the best, healthiest place they have ever worked, and that is something I think about every single day,” said Sarah Powell, Digital Relativity CEO. “We have always believed that taking care of our people and taking care of our partners go hand in hand, and I think that shows up in the work. When your team genuinely loves where they are, that energy is contagious and our partners feel it.”
Employees have the option to work from the agency’s Charleston office or remotely. The agency also offers a benefits package designed to support employee well-being and professional growth, including flexible work schedules, paid time off, a 401(k) plan with company contributions, profit-sharing and bonus opportunities.
The award is based on a comprehensive evaluation that includes an employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace. The survey measures factors such as management effectiveness, perks, professional development and overall company culture, with company
benefits also audited as part of the process. This year, 507 companies nationwide were selected for the list.
