Great people are kinda our thing

For us, ownership is also an attitude, a way of thinking, and a feeling. Being an owner means taking action in our areas of responsibility, helping foster a community within our company that supports fresh thinking and unique solutions to problems, demonstrating a willingness to fail in order to learn, and always looking for ways to improve and refine our ways of working.

For everyone at Creative Force, creativity is central to all of our personal and professional lives.

When it comes to our customers, we understand the critical role creatives and creativity play in their success. Our mission is to do whatever it takes to help them unlock the creative power of our customers.

For our business, creativity is essential. It allows us to come up with unique solutions, challenge the status quo, and approach long-standing issues in our industry and inside our company in new ways.

We don't view creativity as the fun little sprinkles on top of the sundae. The way we see it, creativity is those three scoops of ice cream that serve as the foundation for the rest of the sundae. With those scoops in place, everything else can be piled on top.

In your day-to-day work, it's easy to get caught up on little things. We are all guilty of that. As visual creatives, we are nothing short of detail-oriented when it comes to the work we do.

But our leadership team is constantly reminding us to look at the big picture.

In our work, we keep in mind that what makes sense under a microscope may not make sense in the broader context of your team, our company, or our industry. Typically, this means taking a hard look at initiatives that give us only short-term gains, questioning solutions that are difficult to scale, and avoiding placing unnecessary pressure on our people.

This value also applies to how we see the people we work with. We all lead rich lives comprised of families, friends, hobbies, personal successes, and, occasionally, difficult times. We strive to value everyone's "full picture" by creating a work experience where we all have an opportunity to live a life we enjoy at work and outside it. And when one of us comes up against one of those tough challenges life sometimes throws at us, we do our best to support each other through it.

"Move Things To Done" refers to "Agile" and, specifically, Kanban boards, which we love enough to have built several into Creative Force. And we love nothing more than moving things to the "Done" column.

Why the emphasis on getting things done? Well, our company is growing insanely fast. This means that, unlike larger companies, we don't have the benefit of being able to sit around and discuss different problems and solutions for months. Ideas are surfaced, plans are created, and then those plans are executed, often within a very short period of time. It's the only way we can keep up with our own growth.

From this reality of hyper-growth, we have come to value getting things done. We all run into issues from time to time, but we all pride ourselves on our willingness to get our hands dirty and do what it takes to complete a task, allowing us to move on to the next business-critical task. 

Trust is huge for us. Our customers place the health of their entire operations in our hands. We owe it to them to do everything in our power to make them successful.

Trust is also critical in how we work inside Creative Force. We are all trusted to get our work done and perform at a high level. No one is tracking your movement or how many hours you spend with your laptop open. We trust each other to be there for one another when needed and to deliver on what we promise. It's as simple as that.
