Our values are our compass. They guide our decision-making, inform our culture, and help us respond to challenges as a team. They grow and change with us; we grow and change with them. Living up to our values is a forever-process that’s never really done.
Culture, technology, and media are constantly evolving. So is our industry. So are we. We embrace that change as a team, mine it for opportunity, and use it to create order, beauty, and precision. It requires both structure and flexibility working in unison.
Big changes are the product of hundreds of little ones. Each time we take the initiative to experiment, learn, or make a mistake, we create small revolutions that form the building blocks of success.
We believe the future of advertising will take many forms. As a proudly independent for-profit agency, we better our clients’ businesses while reserving the space to take our own risks, invent things, and pursue our own goals.
As a company, we take care of our people. As a team, we take care of each other. We’re strongest when we work together across disciplines, and true integration is only possible when we engage each other with empathy.
Sameness is not a strength. We insist on diversity in all its forms, and we hold each other accountable for bringing diverse perspectives into our teams, our client roster, our thinking, and our work.
We honor who is responsible for what while rising to the occasion regardless, covering for one another where necessary, and lifting where others cannot. It's easy to point to who should have done what. It's hard to simply do what has to be done.
We value being dynamic and nimble, but we are not soloists or free agents. As we experiment, we bring others with us. We share what we’re working on, communicate along the way, and develop stronger bonds and outcomes because of it.
We step out of ego and defensiveness to share our vulnerability because we trust in each other. We believe in healthy, constructive conflict and create safe spaces in which to experience it. When we don’t know the answer, we have the courage to invite others in to help us find it.
There are stories in every brand, opportunity, and category. It is an investment to uncover them. For those that merit our energy and care, we take time to find what’s special and approach each one with wide-eyed intrigue and open-mindedness.
Know what it is you’re trying to achieve and how you’re going to get there. Whether it’s client goals or agency goals, be a steward of progress with your destination always in mind. We’re all responsible for making work that works.
