♕ How We're Committing to A Better Workplace

x Because Creativity Starts With a Healthy Work-Life Balance

1. We're an Accessibility-First Workplace

Because our team members and subcontractors come from a variety of different educational and economic backgrounds, we believe in providing a work environment that plays to everyone’s unique strengths.

This can mean;

Providing Transit Passes and Reimbursements for Commuting to Client Meetings.
Encouraging the use of accessibility tools and services in the workplace to support processing challenges.
Flexible scheduling and work-from-home positions to help accommodate anxiety or disability.
Encouraging family-time by adhering to a four-day work week.

It is our personal belief that if you are miserable, overworked and fighting unnecessary workplace policies that directly impact your physical and mental health you’re not going to be able to deliver good work.

Asking for accommodation is NOT an inconvenience. It’s a right every employee should have because you are a valuable member of our team and we want you firing on all cylinders. We want self-advocators!

2. We'll Pay for Extra Courses, Certifications, Books and Software Add-ons .

Over the years, we’ve built up an extensive collection of paid-for online courses, videos and books on various topics that we’ve made available to everyone on our team. Why? Because we believe experimentation and further education are part of what gives us our edge.

But, part of supporting special interests means recognizing there are corners of the internet we know nothing about. If you’re interested in a particular subject or a piece of software that isn’t widely available, we’re more than happy to take a chance on you.

Because we believe the people we hire are smart, resourceful, creative folks who know how to take new information and spin it into something we never could have even dreamed of.

In the past, we’ve paid for;

Anatomy and Figure Drawing Courses 🖥️
English and Technical Writing Textbooks ✍️
3D Modelling Add-Ons and Brush Packs 🎨
Audio Recording Equipment🎙️

If you believe attending a workshop will help you be a better creative, then we do, too. We want your best, brightest, never-in-a-million-years ideas. Part of our commitment to hiring candidates, regardless of educational or prior-agency experience, has everything to do with helping you get to where you need to be.

3. Our Hiring Process is simple.

When we’re looking for people to fill roles, we only care about three things;

Your Portfolio Work. (Instagram, Behance, Writing Samples etc.)
Your Weird Side projects. (Blogs, Video Games, YouTube Videos)
Your Ability to Problem Solve and Absorb Technical Information.

Not everyone has access to opportunities like post-secondary education or agency experience, and that’s okay! But if you can talk for hours about a special interest that aligns with the role or are willing to learn-as-you-go, that’s all the fit we need.

(And a unique illustration style or an unusual foray into some obscure aspect of AI development is never bad to have in your back pocket around here). We want your weird, wonderful, and different.

If you’re a copywriter, send us a cover letter. If you’re an artist, paint us a picture. If you’re a dev nerd, show us a Steam Workshop Mod or a weird GitHub Applet you enjoyed making.

If we wanted fish that were great at riding bicycles we’d be in a completely different line of work.
