We’re a fast-growing agency, advised and backed by some of the top startups, foundations, entrepreneurs, and celebrities in the world. We’re early in our journey, and you will learn and grow with us. You’ll have the opportunity to be an early employee (or rock star)!

🌈 Finding Joy

We believe that growth and development are a creative journey. We want you to find growth and joy in everything you do.

Our job is to help us feel as joy as possible in our lives, both inside and outside of work! We proactively ask for feedback, check-in how you’re doing, and work hard to ensure you’re in a flow state. This means we care about living balanced lives and encourage teammates to work in places/times that bring you joy and comfort.

🪟 Openness, Transparency, and Optimism

Feedback is at the core of everything we do. We deeply care about this, because we believe it’s what makes us better. We build trust by sharing the best of us and the worse. We are direct and succinct, and believe in radical candor.

This means we tell each other when we’re scared/angry, and not making the best decisions. We don’t jump into conclusions quickly, and instead ask for clarifications of our colleagues’ intentions and words. We strive to continue building a company where you can be your full self to work, knowing you’ll be heard and supported!

We’re a winning team, not a family. We’re stronger together. We’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there. We find solutions to problems instead of choosing blame.

🎇 We Give a Shit and Have Fun

We care about what we do, our clients, and each other. We look at problems as a way to learn, grow, and find joy in resolving them.

Be an owner of the work, mission, and pursue the best ideas, solutions. To do so, we create the time and place to be creative and have fun!

• We use Slack for comms, Notion/Airtable for project management and memos/documentation.
• We focus a lot on feedback and transparency. We regularly give open and honest feedback. This is critical. Please only apply if you are open to this.
