We’re wanting someone who values the freedom and culture of a small agency and is passionate about what we do. - A team player:
Someone who appreciates the value of teamwork. - Nice:
We’re a tight, happy team. We can’t handle grumpy or emo, so if you’re a moody person we’re not the right fit for you! We value kindness, compassion and community.
