SmartSites ranks No. 27 among medium-sized employers on NJBIZ’s 2026 Best Places to Work in New Jersey list.
SmartSites has been named one of NJBIZ’s 2026 Best Places to Work in New Jersey in the medium-sized companies category, for employers with 50 to 249 employees. NJBIZ announced this year’s honorees in July and revealed the final ranked lists on September 24 at the Event Center at iPlay America in Freehold, where SmartSites placed No. 27 of the 61 medium-sized companies honored.
“We’ve spent fifteen years trying to build the kind of company people don’t want to leave. Hearing that from our own team, through an anonymous survey, means more than any client award.”
— Michael Melen, Co-Founder, SmartSites
NJBIZ recognized more than 130 companies across its small, medium and large categories this year.
A Ranking Our Team Decided
Companies register for Best Places to Work, but they cannot rank themselves. The rankings are based on a confidential employee survey conducted by BridgeTower Media’s Best Companies Group, alongside a review of each company’s workplace practices, programs and benefits. The people who answered for SmartSites are the ones who work here every day, from our Paramus, New Jersey headquarters to the colleagues who work alongside them around the world.
That is why this one means a lot to us. The strategists, designers, developers, writers and account managers at SmartSites are the reason clients stay, and a team that wants to be here is a team that knows its clients’ accounts inside and out. If you would like to be part of it, take a look at careers at SmartSites.
Another NJBIZ Recognition
This is not the first time NJBIZ has recognized SmartSites. The agency has appeared on NJBIZ’s Top 250 Privately Held Companies list in past years, including No. 105 on NJBIZ’s 2024 Top 250 Privately Held Companies list. SmartSites has also been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies ten years in a row.
Thank you to everyone on the SmartSites team for taking the survey, and for making this a place worth ranking. We will keep investing in the things that earned it: room to learn, room to grow into bigger roles, and work people are proud to put their names on. And congratulations to all of this year’s honorees.
