WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

For the work:

• Deeply understand human beings.  Real ones. The ones we’re making the work for. You’re good at finding what they need. At identifying real problems to solve for them. You find humanity in data. And ultimately, you define a genuine role that brands can play in their lives.
• Get into the world and into culture. We don’t expect you to be a world-famous Tik Toker, DJ or photographer (although we would welcome it). We do expect that you develop strategy informed by culture, so that we inform culture in turn.

For our clients:

• Understand our client’s business. Not better than our clients do. That’s crazy and an insult to our clients. But understand it: how they make money and their business strategy, that, we must do.
• Be a partner + confidante: Usher them when they want it, guide them if they need it. We work in partnership with our clients, it helps the work and it helps the team, so we need the relationships in place to do so.

For the team:

• Work autonomously, together. We want you to feel autonomous – that your work is yours. At the same time, we expect you to enrich your work with other people’s perspectives.
• Be comfortable in a debate. We’re not order takers. We disagree a lot. With everyone. Not because it’s fun, but because it’s necessary for better work.
• Lead. Not in a performative way, more, set the tone. Motivate with your actions. Push the boundaries. That kinda way.
