Rhythm

You will work autonomously or collaboratively on several concurrent projects without skipping a beat, all the while self-starting, actively solving problems, and delivering beyond what is expected.

Communication

You will articulate your ideas and concepts internally and externally. Your ability to communicate, listen, and synthesize are critical parts of your role.

Responsibility

You will make judgment calls as necessary, knowing when to consult colleagues and management. You will also seek and value feedback, knowing it will make your work that much stronger.

Intensity

You will enjoy a casual, non-competitive work environment that prizes killer work and killer weekends, alongside colleagues who could get a job anywhere else but choose not to.

Our ethos

We are on a mission to find the truth and make it rad. Above all else, we value curiosity, can-do attitudes, initiative-takers and team players. People who exemplify these characteristics tend to enjoy working here. People that don’t—don’t.

Our vibe

We are committed to maintaining a small team. If you enjoy juggling multiple projects, learning on the fly, and working with clients directly, then you might like working here. However, if you want to make political moves, tackle one thing at a time, or experience the buzz of a larger agency, we aren’t a good fit.

Our focus

We don’t do everything. Our focus is on brand strategy, visual identities, design systems, messaging frameworks, and campaign concepts. We don’t buy ads, develop apps, or tackle digital marketing initiatives. Stoked about defining brands? Well, we do that.
