discover our mission and values

our mission

is to fuel the success of organizations making a positive impact on society through world-class, empathy-driven brand building that works to understand, inspire, educate, motivate, and convert.

our values

We are committed to living out eight core values in all of our work and relationships.

We are:

empathetic bound by integrity strategic curious creative collaborative invested insightful

Empathy is the foundation on which we choose to interact with the world.

Why? Because real progress on any front cannot come without real understanding. And real understanding cannot come without empathy.

Through the conscious practice of empathy, we understand each other, our clients, our audience, and the world in a much deeper and more powerful way. And with that understanding, we can make real progress to benefit us all.

Integrity is the character to do what is right even when no one is watching.

It’s the conviction to uphold one’s values even when there is nothing to gain – and even more importantly, even when there is something to lose.

We approach all of our client relationships and every moment of our work with integrity, because we believe our work is an extension of ourselves.

When people think about strategy, they often equate it with how a plan is carried out. But the more important aspect of building a sound strategy is determining why each piece of the plan should exist – or if it should at all.

We use research, best practices, and ongoing data analysis to inform and continually refine the strategies we create with our clients.

This ensures we’re doing the right things, at the right time, for the right audience, in order to achieve the right results.

Curiosity is the mother of creativity.

It’s what pushes us to learn new things and forge new connections between disparate ideas, realms of knowledge, and ways of living. It’s what propels us to wonder “what if…” and to discover new perspectives.

Curiosity is the catalyst for change.

We seek to bring creativity to everything we do.

Creative in words and in visuals, of course – that’s where so much of our professional passion lies. But also creative in the ways we solve problems and approach challenges.

Creativity is the prerequisite for never giving up, and the essential ingredient for rising above the crowd.

We believe that success is a team sport.

There are no star players, and it takes constant communication to make it to the end goal. The simple fact is that the team either wins together or not at all.

We like to win. And we love partnering with our clients every step of the way there.

Simply put, you can expect us to take things personally.

Our work is our passion, and we aren’t successful if you aren’t. We are invested, 100%, in every relationship and every project we choose to invest ourselves in.

We’re not about deploying a menu of marketing tactics and calling it a day.

We’re here to act as business partners for our clients. We ask thoughtful questions. We pitch ideas, not just when it’s related to our scope of work but anytime we think it could add value. We raise opposing views if we think it might lead to greater success.

And we provide insights on the impact of our work in a way that’s aligned with your goals.

I highly recommend Laura Dunn as a uniquely talented, invaluable marketing consultant. She has it all – a flawless writer who excels at marketing and brand strategy as well as social media. She oversaw multiple aspects of marketing and communications for our school, with superb results. In fact, in over 20 years in higher education, I have never worked with anyone who comes close to her level of knowledge, skills and versatility. She is smart, insightful, dependable, creative and collaborative – and a delight to work with.
