…And this is how we do it.

We’re led by our values. They’re what we built the agency on and they keep us focused on what matters.

Good Business/Good Product

We’re looking for clients whose business makes a positive impact on the community and society. We only sell products we believe in – both in quality and in benefit. We operate with a conscience and we expect the same from our clients.

Pitches & Spec Work

In respect of our own time and the time of our existing clients (which potentially means you) we do not engage in creating work for free. Just as you wouldn’t ask an electrician to rewire your house before you decide to hire them, we expect to be treated the same way.

Process

For the sake of time, efficiency, accuracy and efficacy we work directly with decision makers. Our work, regardless of discipline is based on research, insight and experience. When we present work, we present to a predetermined body who have the authority to make autonomous decisions.

Relationship

This is a partnership. That means we’re a team. In rock climbing every climber understands the interdependence and responsibility they have towards everyone else on the trip. This is not life and death, but we can still apply that idea of mutual trust.

Respect

We will always respect you, your knowledge of your business and your expertise. We will also create an atmosphere for open and honest dialogue. We ask that you treat us with the same respect – we’re really good at what we do.

Transparency

From our pricing, to our process transparency is very important to us. We’re working to change the reputation agencies have earned over the years. We don’t bury fees and we don’t take your brand ‘out back’ to work on it and then reemerge with a finished product.

Vision

We want to work with people who think big and dream bigger. Dirigo Collective has some pretty big dreams – from our DC fund, to all of the other passion projects we are pursuing. Success doesn’t exist without taking risks. We’re setting the world on fire, want to come?
