“We are the authority at what it is that we do! But, we aren’t excessively formal”. This is the main message that we want to convey to potential clients and our audience. We are mostly informal and can be a bit irreverent at time. We believe in doing great work for our clients and value deeply our working relationship with them. We want to impart that we are not a “faceless” company, instead we are a team of friendly and reachable professionals. We win because we focus more on building rapport to our clients versus it being a transactional relationship. We want to convey that we are original knowledge authorities in our field as well. Moreover, we want to showcase the people behind all the great efforts from the company, as well as each of their stories. It is important that we are able to flush out the stories of our people so that the message isn’t that we are some “faceless” company, but we also have people who others can relate to. As such, we’d like for you to see what each person is doing outside of work and within the company.
