46% of full-time working men and women reported that their job demands interfered with their family life, according to a survey conducted in 2010 from the 2015 Economic Report of the President.

Work-life balance is what many professionals aim to achieve. It is tough to juggle a successful career, a happy family life, and a strong physical well-being, while maintaining good social relationships, all at the same time.

In the digital marketing industry, professionals are expected to deal with the rigorous demands of their career—high expectations of clients, tight deadlines, in-depth researches, tons of analytics, and roll-out of campaign executions. These career demands often take a toll on other aspects of one’s life.

So, what are the best digital marketing jobs for that perfect work-life balance?

Working-from-home is certainly not for everyone, but with proper focus and time management, it definitely has its perks. A Forbes article highlighted that freelancing offers a lot of benefits, such as time flexibility, less stressful environment, fewer distractions, no daily commutes, and more time with the family. The number 1 benefit as it turns out is work/home balance.

For those on the look-out for a full-time corporate job, keep an eye on the top companies with the best work-life balance. According to Forbes, these companies are:

  1. Colgate-Palmolive
  2. Wegmans

  10. Prudential Financial
  11. YMCA
  12. GlaxoSmithKline
  13. Southwest Airlines

Sometimes, we work so hard to make a living that we forget to make a life. Pursuing a career that you love, whether full-time or freelancing, should not take a toll on the other areas of your life. So make sure that you find that perfect balance suited for you.
