OUR VALUES

Our values help to make 26 a visionary agency. You are expected to support, model and apply them to your work at all times.

• Imagine: With visionary thinking we create what comes next. This means being boundless in our imagination; starting with the boldest idea first, stepping outside of our comfort zone; striving to create award-winning work and learning from our mistakes (it comes with the territory!)
• Collaborate: We all achieve more by working together. Collaboration is more than teamwork, it’s a mindset; we work together with other teams and our clients to problem solve; we build partnerships between us that play to our strengths, sharing the credit and celebrating success.
• Challenge: Our challenger mindset sets us apart from the rest. Don’t do what has always been done before, ask ‘why are we doing this?’, stay curious and embrace a growth mindset.
