ABOUT US
Reflex Media is a next-generation high-tech marketing company led by our Founder & CEO, an MIT alumni.  Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, our company operates as a 100% remote organization, and as such, we are seeking to hire the best talents nationwide (as well as worldwide). Our business is as much data, software, and artificial intelligence as it is business operations and customer service.  We also create at the forefronts of psychology, economics, music, literature, art, fashion, cinematography, and the science of marketing. Our company culture can best be described in three words:  growth, passion, and excellence.  Our Founder, who subscribes to the philosophy “what cannot be measured cannot be managed,” is committed to creating an environment where the opportunity to grow is unbounded.  As a company where you get back as much as you put in, we are best suited for individuals who are looking not for a job but rather an opportunity to grow and significantly add.  In short, we are a company where superstars are developed.
