Our Culture

We’re a fun-loving team that rolls up our sleeves and does great work together. We’re all a little different, but that’s what we celebrate. It’s what makes the “us” great. There are no egos here. We’re competitive together, but not with each other (except maybe in line for coffee).

We are a community of about 30 creative minds based in Calgary, AB and we work together to stay curious, raise our hands when we aren't sure about something, and do what's right - not what's easy. We’re principled people who believe in radical ownership and accountability to each other and our clients.

We have a beautiful, non-downtown office location that offers free parking, a gym, cafe, and comfortable, tech savvy meeting rooms and workstations.

We work onsite to be intentional about optimizing collaboration and creativity on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. (Remote/ Work From Home is optional on Wednesdays and Thursdays)

Workstations include a MacBook and an electric sit-stand desk.

Our 2 kitchen cafes are stocked with really, really good coffee.
