Our Culture

Our founding team has done the agency grind. The sleepless nights. The ‘work hard, play hard’ hustle culture. Yes, it was fun. Yes, it gets results. But it’s not sustainable in the long term, and it’s not how we believe the agency model should work.

We strongly believe in being the best that we can be. We believe in delivering best-in-class work that we can all be proud of; that we can all derive fulfilment from.

And to do this, we need a stable, inclusive, conscientious environment. One where rest isn’t frowned upon.

We’re ambitious though. We work hard. We want to be radically candid, deeply curious, and fast but considered. We always strive for self improvement, and we do it as a team.

Our promise to you is to ensure that delivery of world-class work comes with world-class support, training, rest, and cookies.
