Our Values

Like all good companies, we value inclusion, respect and all other kinds of ethical behaviour. Alongside these, there are five values we prize and actively look for in staff and candidates:

• Impact – We have a strong influence and impact on our audience, our clients and our wider community. We make a real difference. We take special pride in what we do and only write about things we believe in, and we’re constantly working to bring you the latest and raddest happenings around town, even if it means frequent hangovers (we’ll take one for the team).

• Integrity – We want to do things that make our kids proud. We are honest and have strong moral principles.

• Teamwork – Nothing works unless there is teamwork. We work together, collaboratively as a team, to achieve our goals. Our team has a growth mindset, and we look to reach more people through innovative content.

• Love Local – We celebrate local designers, creators, producers and businesses. We want to use our powers to lift them up.

• Fun – We are playful, we have good humour (well, we love a joke or two) and we enjoy having a sense of fun at work. We’ll be honest: we love our jobs, and we want to find the right candidate that will love working with us too.
