25+ Secret Ninjas

Design & Development Ninjas

Most of our team prefers to honor the time honored ninja tradition: stealth. When needed, they appear in a cloud of smoke, creatively delight in design or development, and then vanish into the void. But we know their secret call...coffee.

Believing you can change the world is half the battle.

Our Ninja Code

What We Do Matters

When you partner with the right creative marketing agency, you can move mountains. A moment of change has unlimited potential for innovation and growth both inside and outside of a business. That’s why when we take on a project, we aren’t just working to impact the lives of our clients, but also the lives of their customers.

Our Ninja Code

We Make the Difference

Our clients love us because they can count on us. Whatever the need is, big or small, we pride ourselves on being a creative marketing agency that exceeds expectations, bends time, and saves the day. Because when it’s all said and done, we’re not satisfied unless our client is blown away.

Our Ninja Code

Collaborate to Achieve Greatness

We’re an all star team, but nobody can do it alone. As a creative marketing agency, we’re committed to bringing our best effort to every project, and we rely on our teammates to do exactly the same. Together, we can make things that are so much more than the sum of our parts.

Proactively share ideas, successes, & struggles.

Our Ninja Code

Always Be Communicating

Creativity doesn’t exist in a vacuum. We believe that the best way to bring new ideas into the world is through communication, exploration, and constantly challenging the status quo. As a creative marketing agency, we create things together, we solve problems together, and we celebrate our victories together.

Own what you do, don't just do a task.

Our Ninja Code

Let Your Work Speak for Itself

Treat every project like it’s your own, because it is! We don’t believe in making things just to make them — we put our heart and soul into everything we touch. When a creative marketing agency stands behind what they make and takes pride in everything they do, there’s no limit to what they can achieve.

Always explore new ideas & confront the status quo.

Our Ninja Code

Be Fearless

Routine is the enemy of good design. To break out of the trap of “how things are always done”, you have to constantly question and confront the status quo. As a creative marketing agency, we believe in learning the rules of great design — then working every day to find new and exciting ways to break them!

Passionately embrace the underdog projects.

Our Ninja Code

Never Back Down

Every project has value, especially the ones that need the most care and attention. As a creative marketing agency, we’ve always believed that the best projects are the ones that are worth fighting for. We never back down from a challenge — in fact, we seek them out! Because we know that’s where the most potential for greatness lies.

Fight for the end user.

Our Ninja Code

Plan Ahead

When we finish a project, it’s life has just begun. That’s why we always think ahead and envision how a project will perform in all the various places it will end up in the real world. We don’t make things for our creative marketing agency — we make them for everyone who’s going to see them in the future.

If someone isn't honoring the code, call them on it.

Our Ninja Code

Work With Integrity

The flipside of trust is accountability. We’re able to create amazing things as a creative marketing agency team because we’re all committed to bringing our best effort and holding each other to the pledges we make. Our openness to criticism lets us solve problems and constantly improve our processes.
