How we like to work

  • Four men smiling outdoors, three sitting and one standing behind them. They are casually dressed, with one wearing sunglasses and a hat. The setting appears to be a beach or park with overcast skies.

    We operate in small teams

    The core requirement for a project to be successful is a simple, agile team made of the right people to do a great job. Nothing more, nothing less. We start each project with just the two of us, only bringing in additional team members if and when they are needed. Small teams pave the way for quick decisions, great communication and smart ideas.

    We create with kindness

    Kindness is free. It costs nothing, and we’re all capable of making it a non-negotiable in the way we work. We are people people, and over the years we’ve built good connections and relationships with talented people from all walks of life. We’re open, honest, we pay on time and treat people fairly. What goes around comes around, and we reckon this philosophy results in the best work.

    We're not wasters

    We’ve both experienced first hand the amount of waste creative projects can produce - wasting time, money, resource, people, energy - so we try to be ruthlessly efficient in everything we do. And we’re constantly tweaking and refining our processes to enable us to be just that. Too often people mistake action for progress, but we like to keep it simple, consider our options and make smart decisions to move projects forward.

    We're interested in our clients, not Cannes

    Unless you count swimming badges or karting trophies, neither of us have won an award in our lives. And we’re okay with that. It’s not a metric of success for us. We have no ulterior motive here, we’re not doing this work to put us on the map. We are much more interested in working with our clients to deliver work that we’re all proud of, and having a bloody great time whilst doing it.

    We keep it real

    We believe the best creative work comes from big ideas working alongside an awareness of reality; creative and production working hand in hand and pushing each other throughout the whole process. Keeping our ideas grounded in reality with a holistic awareness of the job at hand means we never lose sight of the outcome and are able to produce work that works really hard for our clients.

    We compromise in the right places

    There’s no point being cheap if the final product isn’t up to scratch. There’s no point creating an incredible product that costs the earth and you resent because it wasn’t worth it, in the end. Quality and value are equally important, and we are focussed on creating the best work we possibly can and making compromises in the right places to bring value to every project.

Let’s work together.

We’re here for brands that value collaboration, honesty, and creativity. If you’re looking for a creative partner that treats your vision like their own, get in touch, and let’s make something great together.
