BBR Creative’s Post

When I was interviewing, I was *extremely* hesitant to interview at agencies. I'd heard the chatter. Heck, I was probably "that client" on more than one occasion. So you can understand why I was pleasantly surprised by the culture at Balcom. The greatest example (IMO) is in our annual "And Plan", which outlines the company's goals for the upcoming year. For the two years I've been here, the first two company-wide goals in the And Plan aren't about gaining clients, or reducing costs, or any other business metric. The first two goals have always been people-focused. How do we work together, how do we balance workloads, how do we take care of our own people. Once we get those things taken care of, that's when we talk about business-oriented goals like increasing revenue, reducing costs, and those sorts of things. They're important, yes - we're a business, after all. But they're not THE MOST important. And I love that.

Having a written, accessible set of “values” as a company is something we strongly believe in at TDG Marketing. These are the fundamental beliefs we hold as an agency. Our values are: ✅TRUST ✅CARE ✅INNOVATION & CREATIVITY ✅COMMUNICATION ✅GROWTH ✅WORK/LIFE BALANCE Learn more about our culture: https://lnkd.in/gbhpeTwC #TDGMarketing #MarketingAgency #Marketing #MarketingStrategy #SocialMediaMarketing #SocialMediaStrategy #DigitalMarketing #Brantford #BrantCounty

Ultimately, lead time success is the sum of many parts. With so much often weighing on the BIG creative idea, though, a wholly strategic approach to creative ideation plays an important role in the planning process, and overall attendee experience. While our Creative Services Director, Rebecca Shanks (who we’re thrilled to have back on deck following maternity leave 🌟) says being asked to ‘be creative’ without sufficient time to do so in a strategic way is one her biggest challenges, with lead times in a constant state of flux right now, there is a solution at play. Swipe for the big reveal, as Becca shares some insight into how she and the Sledge creative team deliver on the big idea. #Sledge #creativity #creativeteam #eventplanning #projectplanning #eventproduction

How do you communicate a company’s culture to the outside world? I absolutely love thinking about things like this. Because really what is it that makes you love working somewhere? I’m coming to the end of my first week at WTW and I can honestly say I have loved every moment of it so far. I feel so incredibly welcomed and valued. You can’t buy a good work culture. It’s not about spending on an initiative, or implementing one process. Good cultures are based on valuing and respecting people, on empathy and a willingness to provide a great experience. It’s often small things that are hard to capture in a brand campaign that make the biggest difference to employee experience. And with young people, who may not have experienced a workplace before, it’s even harder to convey how good things are, with nothing to compare with. You only appreciate how amazing it is getting all your tech over a week in advance, when you’ve experienced less than ideal situations previously!

Welcome to the circus... I mean, the HR extravaganza that is our organization! If you've ever wondered what it's like to work in a place where shared values are not just buzzwords but the heart of our daily grind, buckle up :) Humour is as essential as oxygen around here. Memes in the Teams? Check. Office prank wars? Double check. But it's not all fun and games (okay, maybe it is like 80% fun and games). Our shared values are the compass guiding our ship through the stormy seas. Whether it's fostering a culture of inclusivity, championing personal growth, or just making sure everyone gets their fair share of birthday cake in the break room, we're all in this together. And let's not forget our beloved rituals, watching "Young Sheldon" on coffee breaks and pizzas on Fridays. Sure, there are days when things get a little hectic, and the printer decides to stage a rebellion right before a crucial meeting. But when you're surrounded by a team where even the toughest challenges become opportunities for growth, learning, and maybe a few office-wide inside jokes. We're not just an HR company; we're a tribe united by laughter, shared values, and the occasional Latin dances through the office. #WorkHardLaughHarder #JoinTheFun

Happy World Storytelling Day! Today, we celebrate the rich tapestry of cultural and historical narratives that shape our world. Let's remember the power of inclusive storytelling, ensuring all voices are heard and stories are shared. In organizations, storytelling fosters empathy, understanding, and creates more human-centered workplaces. At Blu Ivy, we embrace the diversity of narratives at our organization through an initiative called BIG and Inclusive Narratives. Throughout the year, we spotlight the diverse celebrations that make up the fabric of our team . It's an invitation to explore, understand, and appreciate the rich tapestry of narratives that contribute to our vibrant culture. Connect with us if you want to learn more about how your organization can integrate storytelling into its employer brand and culture strategy. #WorldStorytellingDay #Connecting #Belonging #DEI #EmployerBrand #HumanCenteredWorkplaces"
