What We Believe In (And What We Don't)
Let's cut the crap. Here’s what gets us out of bed in the morning and what makes us want to flip the table:
WE BELIEVE IN:
- Killing Boring: It’s in the name for a reason. Boring is the enemy. It’s the beige wallpaper of the universe. We fight it. Everywhere.
- Radical Creativity: Not just "outside the box," but setting the box on fire. We push for ideas that make you, and us, a little bit nervous. That's where the good stuff is.
- Brutal Honesty: We don’t do fluff. We don’t sugarcoat. Feedback is fuel here. Expect it. Give it. Grow from it.
- High Standards: We care intensely about the work. We expect everyone to bring their A-game, own their shit, and push for greatness. No exceptions.
- Chaos with Structure: Yeah, we talk about death, we have weird themes, we might seem chaotic. But underneath, there’s a method. There's pressure. There’s a drive to actually make something amazing.
- Action: Ideas are cheap. Execution is everything. We ship. We deliver. We make it count.
WHAT WE DON'T BELIEVE IN (AND WILL ACTIVELY DESTROY):
- "Safe" Ideas: If your first thought is "let's play it safe" or "what if we toned it down?", we're not your people. Safety is boring's best friend.
- Corporate Fluff: Synergy, alignment, leveraging paradigms... please, just stop. Talk like a human. Be direct.
- Making Clients Happy at the Expense of the Work: We partner with clients, but we protect the integrity of the creative. We won't dilute good work to appease fear.
- Beige Energy: If you bring lukewarm, "just okay" vibes to the table, expect us to call it out. We need fire.
- Disrespecting the Craft: Whether it's strategy, design, copy, or ads – we respect the skill and effort it takes. Phoning it in is a cardinal sin.
- Hiding: There’s nowhere to hide here. Own your wins, own your screw-ups. Avoiding feedback is career suicide at KBD.
Bottom line: We're here for bold ideas, high standards, real talk, and zero tolerance for boring.
