“This job is about so much more than just the “doing” of the job – we’re a small agency that values our eccentricities and our differences. We’re a people-centric force to be reckoned with, doing things our cheeky way but with enough understanding, give and take and cooperation to make all of our people happy – clients, staff, friends, colleagues and people of all titles. The most imperative part of this job is the building and caring for of all our relationships, done with a heartening smile and knowledge enough to know when to tell people to “jog on” (nicely).”
