VALUES + PRINCIPLES

OUR VALUES

Fostering Equity and Inclusion: Whose voices are heard, and who has power and access to solutions—each impact the lived experience of inclusion (how well people feel respected, valued, and included). We are ever mindful of these dynamics, aspiring to ensure each of us contributes meaningfully and authentically so that we may draw on the breadth of ideas and perspectives needed to advance change.

We’re a team of advocates, researchers, storytellers, health professionals, artists, planners, social scientists, designers, strategists, engineers, and big thinkers.

We live to bring people together and to advance social change missions. We seek systems change. We like data. We think and act differently. We believe in the power of framing positive narratives and creative expression. We are inspired by change agents whose work is rooted in equity across issues and sectors.

We are all in for changing the odds in favor of enduring social good

OUR PRINCIPLES

We help organizations and citizen-led initiatives create meaningful impact through strategic communication, organizational strategy and innovation, and intercultural community engagement across a wide range of social issues and complex problems.

We leverage systems change thinking and tools, public mobilization and participation, storytelling, and social science to help organizations, citizen-led initiatives, and philanthropies engaged in this fight.

We help changemakers shift policies, mindsets, practices, and change public narratives by nudging the system.

OUR VALUES

Driving Impact

We strive for excellence in all we do—not only through exceptional standards for our work but also through quality experiences for all involved. We take pride in what we do, and the lives and causes it transform.

Sparking Innovation

We are led by curiosity, creativity, and humility. New ideas require knowledge about what has come before and a willingness to disrupt the status quo.
