The 12 Days of Terakeet: Celebrating What Makes Us Special

Each week, Terakeet employees “circle-up” to celebrate, educate, and give every team member a voice.

Our company-wide meetings are just one of the ways we communicate, keep morale up, and show support for each other from wherever we work.

At the end of each circle-up, employees are encouraged to shout out fellow coworkers for a job well done that week. In many cases, we hear about employees who went above and beyond for their clients or went out of their way to support each other.

Mac Cummings and Pat Daniel created Terakeet in their early twenties and, after a few challenging years, they pivoted the company’s focus toward helping brands grow and protect their businesses.

The two co-founders went from business partners to best friends, as their company bloomed and flourished over several decades.

So where did their ideas and more importantly the company name come from? Read about their journey here to learn more.

We’re proud to offer even more work perks to help put our employees first.

• Unlimited paid time off,
• A week to regroup during the holidays and
• IRA options to plan for the future

These are just some of the ways we cultivate the work-life balance at Terakeet.

For the second year in a row, approximately 4 to 6 opportunities have been up for grabs as part of Terakeet’s Marketing and Digital Apprentice program. The pilot program began in 2020 and accepted applicants from the Syracuse area have been immersed in training and the fundamentals of marketing at Terakeet since then.  

Once again, we’re gearing up to bring in new apprentices in 2023. Know a recent high school graduate that could be a good fit? Read about our apprenticeship program here.

In 2013, employees came together to create Cause For The ‘Cuse: an internal non-profit organization to support the Syracuse City School District.

Since then, employees have volunteered their time and talents to raise more than $180,000 for the cause. This year we elevated our give-back goal thanks to 5 great fundraising events: 

• Wine club
• Golf tournament
• Yoga
• Ugly sweater party
• Virtual holiday trivia

Since 2015, Terakeet has celebrated former employee and colleague Marc Murray through the annual Marc Murray Award. Marc was an early and beloved member of our team who passed away in 2011 after having lived with leukemia for over 7 years. 

Each year, the award is given to an employee who best exemplifies our former colleague’s fighting spirit and since its inception, seven Terakeet employees have been recognized.

At Terakeet family comes first and we’re proud to offer 12 weeks of Fully paid family leave as well as other parenting benefits.

“Paid family leave was incredible. The team was really supportive and respectful of the boundaries we set and I was able to spend quality time with my son after his mom returned to work. I’m so grateful to Terakeet for offering this benefit so that I could be with my son and get to know him while he was still so small and new to the world.”
