OUR VALUES – WE ARE HUNGRY AND HUMBLE
- INTELLIGENT – Research-led and committed to rigour, we leverage cross-category insights and seek the smartest solutions, never just what’s “new” or “cool.” We are insightful and inventive, never stereotypical or status-quo.
- CONSIDERED – Conscientious and thoughtful, we respect our brand partner’s position and experience, consider every detail, and engage with focus. – We are informative and inspiring, but never condescending or complex.
- DRIVEN – Passionate and committed, we relentlessly strive to improve, exceed expectations, and imagine beyond possible. – We are confident in our IP and bold in our stance, but never boastful or arrogant.
- APPROACHABLE – Dynamic, and open-minded, we embrace new ideas, welcome feedback and explore different ways of working, and are always honest and direct. We are warm, inviting and conversational, but never overly casual or slap-stick.
- RESPONSIVE – Attentive and proactive, we help our partners solve for today’s challenges and anticipate what’s next. We’re always attuned to our partner’s needs, agile in our process, and reactive when necessary; but never impulsive, or reckless.
