What is the Giraffe Culture Code?
At Giraffe, we hold each other to account. We encourage each other to push our skills and build new ones. And through it all, we have each other’s backs.
Want to join the Giraffe team? Great! Read through the culture code below to see if your values align with ours.
001
tell the truth, always
We don’t lie, we don’t twist the truth, and we don’t hide problems.
Integrity is the bare minimum.
002
show up for teammates
If someone is struggling, you step in. No one at Giraffe works in isolation - we have each others’ backs.
003
nothing but respect
We’re all grown ups. We don’t do games, gossip or drama. We show respect for each other at all times.
004
embrace the chaos
Working here means pace, pressure, and challenges. But the stakes aren’t life or death - so stay calm, laugh often, and enjoy it.
005
own your growth
You’re expected to be forever learning. Read books, take feedback, seek mentorship, ask questions, listen to podcasts. Curiosity is part of the job.
006
strategy over autopilot
If you’re just going through the motions, you’re in the wrong place. We expect thought behind every move.
007
give a shit about the work
Pride in your work isn’t optional. We create things we believe in and maintain a high bar for quality.
008
big conversations belong in the open
Hard conversations don’t scare us. We face them together, out in the open, with honesty and respect.
009
if you're in, be all in
Energy and belief are contagious. We do our best work when everyone’s bought in and pushing forward together.
010
relationships drive everything
Trust matters, take the time to develop relationships with your clients, colleagues, and everyone in between.
011
work hard, rest hard
We expect high effort and for you to push yourself, but know when you need to stop. Speak up and take rest seriously.
012
lead your clients, not the other way around
We’re not hired to tick boxes, we are paid to guide, advise and direct our clients towards their goals.
013
no cliques
It’s fine to have your favourites, but it’s not fine to make anyone feel excluded. Ever.
014
Bring the Positivity
We all have bad days - but if moaning is your default, this isn’t the place for you.
015
Growth is Everyone's Responsibility
If you’re here, you are expected to proactively seek ways to help grow the agency towards our collective vision.
016
Make it better,
every time
If something could be better, you’re expected to raise it and improve it.
017
Your Role, Your Responsibility
You’re expected to own your role. If it’s your responsibility, don’t pass it off when it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable.
018
Celebrate the Wins
When you spot the good stuff, shout it out. Never miss an opportunity to lift your teammates up.
019
Don't Just Bring Problems
We don’t do dumping. Come with thoughts, ideas or a starting point - not just the issue.
020
Enjoy Yourself
We take the work seriously, but not ourselves. Laugh, connect and bring the fun with you every day.
