Life at BBCA
A Note from Our FounderAside from helping our clients reach their growth goals, the most exciting part of my job is building an agency that leads with kindness. Through my 20+ year career, I’ve seen first hand why agencies are often described with unpleasant four-letter words. I’ve lived and worked through plenty of junk thanks to toxic cultures.
With Base Beauty, I get the chance to reinvent what an agency can be, what internal collaboration and partnership with clients looks and sounds like, and how everyone on the team, no matter their age or expertise, can have a good idea. I value my team and work hard to find ways to reward them for excellence and honor their journey. Employee appreciation leads with respect!

Mostly Work From Home
Since BBCA’s inception 15 years ago, we have built the business with an infrastructure and process that allows for the agency to operate 100% virtually. In retrospect, this approach was ahead of its time, and allows for us to excel in our mostly work from home workflow. We are a New York City-based business that operates on eastern time zone for clients in many time zones.
Peer to Peer Program
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

- Diversifying our team as a small business

Ring the Bell
We have bells in the office and at each of our desks which we ring when good stuff happens. It’s our way to imprint on our brains and hearts that lots of good stuff happens every day at work. It makes dealing with the more challenging days a bit easier. Now, our clients celebrate this way too.
Immersion Programs
At BBCA our innovative thinking pulls through to our programming as well. We offer free masterclasses, webinars and immersion programs to our team, our clients and our industry friends so that everyone can stay ahead of the trends of our evolving industry.
Full Time Employee Benefits
In addition to competitive salaries, a quarterly bonus program, health insurance, 401k contributions, and generous paid time off, here are other ways that we honor the talents, ambition and hard work of our full time employees.
Mental Health Day Program
A day off from work, outside of your vacation and holiday time off, a day with no meetings or work commitments, to be spent as you choose.
Parental Leave
We crafted this program according to our team’s wish list. Family and personal lives are important to us at BBCA so we upgraded our policy to ensure that our FTE receive 100% of their wages during their leave as opposed to the 67% the state of NY mandates.
