We work differently, and yes, we’re selective about our clients. Not everyone can handle our approach, and that’s fine by us.

If you want a team that fights for real results, puts in the work, and tells you the truth even when it stings, let’s talk.

Kim Bode speaks at the American Marketing Association of West Michigan.

What Makes Us, Well...Us.

We’re in this to change the world; one program, campaign, and therapy session at a time. Idealistic? It’s the truth, which is something we’re not afraid to speak, write, and live. 

We’re weird, neurodivergent and our very idealistic focus is to make the world a better place through communication, learning, and community.

We question everything; just cause it’s always been done one way, sure as fuck doesn’t mean it’s the right way. Our core values are a constant reminder of who we are and what we stand for – we are not assholes, we put you first, we know our shit, we work smarter, we are scrappy, we fix it.

We believe in owning our mistakes, fixing what’s broken, and having tough conversations – honesty is our jam.  We decorate for every season. We clean together because no one here is too important to take out the trash or scrub the toilet. 

You won’t find a ping-pong table or a meditation room, but you will find hazelnut creamer in the fridge from our Little Fox, stickers with our dogs’ faces, and a team who really loves what they do. 

This isn’t just where we work. It’s who we are. And we protect it fiercely.
