Come be a Funatic
We believe you won’t perform at your best if you’re not having fun. And you can’t have fun if you’re not performing. We believe this creates the best client + agency relationships and is the best way to make great work.
We believe in respect, inclusivity, kindness, equity, and equality. We want to make a positive impact. We believe that collaboration is the fun part of being at work. We strive to create a culture in which “we” is more important than “me”.
Apart from loving terrible fun puns, we’re small and we’re growing – which means you’ll have a chance to make your mark and grow with us. We’re also 100% remote, and that might not appeal to everyone – but if you value flexibility, it’s perfect.
Join us.
