Whatever You Do, Do it Consciously

Consciously means…
BY DESIGN, NOT DEFAULT

MISSION

We help thoughtful companies, the people behind them, the causes that support them, and the art that inspires them to achieve marketing improvisation. We do this using Ecosystem Design, stakeholder marketing, and tech-enabled systems to enable deep and authentic connection—at scale—for the ecosystems they serve.

 

OUR VALUES

VALUES ARE TECHNOLOGY™
The unique set of values enacted by a company is akeen to an algorithm, your cultural algorithm.

THE DIRECTION, NOT THE PATH
It’s important not to get caught up in the tactical aspects as long as progress is made in the right direction.

LANGUAGE IS DESIGN™
Companies still express their thinking first in one main way: words. It’s important that we use words to describe the intent in building the tools that influence the outcomes we seek.

HONEST INTERACTIONS
Honest interactions means that we’re paid to say and do the hard things clients can’t or won’t. Even if it’s not easy for us either.

YOUR EXPERTISE IS YOUR ARTISTRY
Our skill-set, coupled with the way in which we execute it, is what makes us special.

IMPROVISATION IS THE GOAL
Knowing your company’s truth is what enables us to use structured freedom as our communications guideline.

ENDLESS SELF EXPLORATION
Service to ourselves and filling our own bucket is what allows deep service to and for others.

EQUITABLE SYSTEMS
Equity is the essence of great sustainable revenue and reputation. Ecosystems are built on this the principle of equity.
