what we stand (and dance) for

  • We believe in working hard, communicating directly, and always being responsive to client needs. We also know the importance of remaining calm and maintaining a positive attitude.

  • In our experience, great work is the result of asking lots of questions, experimenting with intention, and staying open to happy accidents. From penicillin to potato chips, the magic of this process has proven itself again and again.

  • We pride ourselves on delivering value and being easy to work with. In a marketing world that often overcomplicates what should be simple, we focus on clarity and transparency—building right-sized solutions you can run independently, while remaining available when ongoing support makes sense.

  • We build brands with staying power and choose our collaborations carefully because we believe business is personal. We fit best with founder-led organizations and mission-driven brands. We only work on a limited number of engagements to maintain the high standards we’re known for.
