Culture Alignment
At Wray Ward, we firmly believe that internal and client
relationships are the key to our success. Certain attitudes define how we work
and are important in what we seek for our culture and mission. Our key agency
attitudes are:
•
WE, NOT ME — We check our egos at
the door. As a result, we thrive in a positive, collaborative atmosphere that
welcomes diverse professionals and invites everyone to contribute their best.
•
ASK “WHAT IF?” — Always going beyond
what is and considering what could be, we create unexpected possibilities that
differentiate our brands and accelerate their success.
•
BE FEARLESS — Creativity demands
that we hold nothing back. So, we mutually support each other in speaking up,
taking risks and courageously contributing audacious, unedited, unconventional
ideas.
•
NAIL IT — Everything we do is
about results. We not only achieve our clients’ goals, but also continually
exceed their expectations. Every person here shares individual responsibility
for their own, our agency’s and our clients’ success.
Our Mission
Day in and day out, we will passionately create the most
innovative, engaging and effective work in the home category — we will live it,
we will breathe it and we will own it.
