Remember the kids who always asked, “Why?” We hired them.
Always remaining curious keeps us hungry. It keeps our approach fresh. And it drives our culture. It gives us the inspiration to explore and collaborate, and the freedom to know that if we’re not having fun, we’re doing it wrong. It can be strategic and vulnerable and exhilarating in equal parts. And, most importantly, it can lead us to ideas that move an individual or move a mountain.

Our Culture
To put it simply, our people are uplifting, weird, vulnerable, honest, and resilient. And while many cultures were ravaged by the pandemic, we grew closer. Our people are kind, accountable to each other, and know that the relationships we have at work are worthy of investment.

Our Values

• Be You: Being you seems simple enough. Yet is so hard. We not only want you to be your whole and true self, we need you to be. For genuine connections, for personal expression, for cultural perspective, and most importantly, for diversity of thought. We are not interested in a fake, compromised or conformed you. This takes vulnerability that isn’t always common in a workplace. When the real you shines, we all shine. What will you let go?
• Question Everything: Curiosity isn’t just our name, it’s our foundation. Without it, we are not the kind of agency or people that we aspire to be. Our curious natures explore what’s possible for our partners and challenge the boundaries of our own individual capabilities. The right question can build, grow, create, connect, unlock, solve and inspire in an instant. What did you question today?
• Mandatory Courage: It takes raw courage to accomplish anything worth accomplishing. Courage is the backbone of bold vision, because without it, our goals are not possible. Courage is the foundation for our integrity, transparency, conviction and good old-fashioned rule breaking. Courage allows us to have a strong point-of-view and stand by it. Courage will help us achieve our dreams, because we’re the underdog. And the underdog doesn’t win without courage. What have you got to lose?
• Unquestionable Care: Ok, ok, remember when we said, “Question everything,” well, there is one thing you can not question: I’ve got your back. We’re better together. I need you and you need me. We need each other to build courage and confidence, and make each other better, more experienced and more curious. It’s teamwork and integration and coaching. It’s support for work-life balance. It’s midwestern values. It’s protecting the fam. Really, it’s just care at the core. Who needs you today?
• Dot Fun: If we’re not having fun, we might not be doing it right. We made it our url as a reminder to us all that fun is the fuel for our creativity, culture and spirit. A required nutrient for Curiosity -- and curiosity -- to function at their finest. Let’s keep it a good time. Did you Dot Fun today?
