The Giraffe Culture Code
We build and protect our culture deliberately. Every hire, decision, and client is filtered through this coefficient of culture.
01
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.
02
Show up for your team.
If someone is struggling, you step in. No one at Giraffe works in isolation - we have each others’ backs.
03
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.
04
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.
05
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.
06
Strategy over autopilot.
If you’re just going through the motions, you’re in the wrong place. We expect thought behind every move.
07
Care about the work.
Pride in your work isn’t optional. We create things we believe in and maintain a high bar for quality.
08
Big conversations happen in the open.
Hard conversations don’t scare us. We face them together, out in the open, with honesty and respect.
09
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.
10
Relationships drive everything.
Trust matters, take the time to develop relationships with your clients, colleagues, and everyone in between.
11
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.
12
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.
13
No cliques.
It’s fine to have your favourites, but it’s not fine to make anyone feel excluded. Ever.
14
Bring the positivity.
We all have bad days - but if moaning is your default, this isn’t the place for you.
15
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.
16
Make it better, everytime.
If something could be better, you’re expected to raise it and improve it.
17
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.
18
Celebrate the wins.
When you spot the good stuff, shout it out. Never miss an opportunity to lift your teammates up.
19
Don't just bring the problems.
We don’t do dumping. Come with thoughts, ideas or a starting point - not just the issue.
20
Enjoy yourself.
We take the work seriously, but not ourselves. Laugh, connect and bring the fun with you every day.
