Compound Core Values

Our core values are the heart and soul of this incredible company. The right person for this role will appreciate each of these values, personally subscribe to them, and understand why each is critical to having a great business.

Quality

At Compound, we obsess over quality. Quality work solves all of our business problems. When we do great work for clients…they stay longer and they send us referrals. It’s also fun to do great work. Creatives on our team don’t view their work as a chore. They love the craft. They have an innate desire to get better at it.

Speed

At Compound, we operate with speed. Working at an early-stage company—especially an agency—is not a "chill" work environment. There are a lot of moving pieces. Clients expect work done well and on time. The right people for our team are excited by this.

Ownership

At Compound, we take ownership. When you take ownership, you make everyone’s job easier. When your teammates take ownership, they make your life easier. If everyone takes ownership over their respective tasks—everything runs more smoothly.

A sign you’d be a great fit for Compound if working with people who don’t exemplify these values drives you insane. You don’t understand how someone couldn’t be obsessed with quality. Slow turnaround times make you question everything. Passing the blame makes you want to pull your hair out.
