Sense of Urgency

Our business moves fast and so do we. We understand the power of now.
We have relentless drive and believe it if can be done, we're the ones who will do it first.

Authenticity

We need to stay real because our brands, our stories and our culture must remain genuine to thrive.
When we have the best intentions for all, we create space to be our whole selves and do great things together.

Simplicity

Our lives are complicated enough. So why use 50 words when you can use 5?
We thrive in ambiguity and change, but we also know how to translate our goals into simple explanations and actions.

Humility

Egos distract us. When we're humble, we're open to listen, take feedback and change direction quickly.
We're here for each other, and together we do great things.

Trust

We respect and rely on each other. Trust is the backbone of our relationships, and we work hard not to break it.
