Why CJRW?
Join us!
We’re a group of smart, passionate people who are committed to the goals of our clients and the communities we serve. And when you join the team, you truly join the team. Your expertise and point of view will have an immediate impact. You’ll be a part of big campaigns and projects from start to finish.
On top of all that, you’ll join a rich history. We’ve been around since 1961, and we work with some of the biggest and best clients in the region.
So yeah, working here rules. Here are a few more reasons why.
Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP)
The employees have taken over. Literally. When you work here, you’re actually an owner. The Employee Stock-Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a long-term, tax-deferred investment plan that rewards everyone when the company is successful. We win, you win – simple as that.
CJRW Cares
At CJRW, we want people who care about the community, so we put our money where our mouth is. Every CJRW employee gets $600 each year to donate to an Arkansas nonprofit of their choice.
Explore Arkansas
One thing you’ll learn about us pretty quickly is that we love Arkansas. And when you work here, we want you to fall in love with it, too. That’s why we reimburse every employee up to $500 when they vacation in-state.

FAQs
We have the answers!
-
What do you mean CJRW is employee-owned?
Yep, you heard it right: CJRW is employee-owned, straight up. You own stock when you work here. There is no majority owner — employees are the owners through the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). It’s a long-term, tax-deferred investment plan that rewards all employee-owners for the company’s financial success. We win, you win.
-
Who are CJRW’s clients?
Take a look around our site and see for yourself! But if you must know like RIGHT THIS SECOND, then just know we’ve got big clients like the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery, Arkansas Tourism, Visit Hot Springs, Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort and the Arkansas State Police. But we’re also proud to work with small, local businesses like Delta Dirt Distillery in Helena-West Helena and nonprofits like the Children’s Advocacy Centers of Arkansas.

What are some things CJRW is known for?
Oof, where to start? Professionally speaking, we’re tourism and destination marketing experts, so one cool thing is that we actually coined the phrase “The Natural State” for Arkansas way back when. And since then, we’ve tried to be innovators in every marketing discipline around these parts. Basically, we make great work. Other stuff we’re known for is our sweet location Downtown on Main Street, and that our CEO, Darin Gray, can land the sickest kickflip to grind combo. If you see him, definitely ask him about it.

What is CJRW’s Explore Arkansas Program?
It’s no secret that we love this state. In fact, we love it so much, we actually pay our employees to travel around for fun through our Explore Arkansas Program. In a nutshell, each employee is reimbursed up to $500 when they vacation in-state, stay at local hotels and eat at local restaurants. What’s not to like?
-
What is the CJRW Cares Program?
Here’s how it works: every year CJRW gives $600 to each employee and then they can donate that to an Arkansas non-profit organization of their choice. So far, we’ve donated $64,400 since the program launched in 2021!
-
Where do CJRW employees park?
Ok, kind of a creepy question, but here we go: we offer company-paid parking right across the street in the covered (very well lit) downtown convention center parking deck.
-
Where is CJRW’s office?
Our office is in a 100+ year-old building on 3rd and Main Street, at the entrance to Downtown Little Rock’s Creative Corridor. We’re steps away from amazing food, coffee and shopping. Plus, we’ve got a patio for when we need some fresh air. Come by and visit!
