CULTURE
At nimblejack, we
love what we do,
and we have a lot
of fun doing it.
We believe our culture is paramount to our success. If we get it right, everything tends to fall in place because we’re working together in a positive environment.
In the beginning, we set out to build a team of awesome individuals—bringing together the right mix of intellect, determination, humor and creativity. We start by asking everyone what they want to get out of their experience working here. It’s important to us to focus on the hopes and dreams of every team member.
So… What are you passionate about? When you work with someone who is passionate about what they do, it can be very contagious. It creates a positive electricity in the office that our employees as well as our clients can feed off of. If you are not passionate about what you do, then we’ll work to put you in a role where you can be passionate!
MATT PIERSON

2) PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO EVERY DETAIL
3) BE RESPECTFUL, PERSONABLE AND HUMBLE IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS
4) KEEP SPEED IN MIND AND AIM TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY

7) LET OUR PASSION SHINE AND EMBRACE THE FUN IN OUR WORK
Every team member plays an integral role in building our company and creating our culture. We strive to create a balance of hard work, passion and fun.
On the following pages, find out more about what each of these statements means. And hear directly from our team about their interpretations of our unique company culture.
HELP EACH OTHER
GROW BOTH
PERSONALLY AND
PROFESSIONALLY
1
We value every team member and believe that happy
employees equal happy clients and a happy work
environment. To achieve that, we look for opportunities
to invest in the personal and professional enrichment of
our team. We expect everyone to challenge themselves to
constantly learn new skills and grow as individuals. If we
continue to push ourselves to be the best we can be, then,
we’ll collectively succeed as a company.
People are always
willing to teach
you something
you don’t know. In
this business you
have to constantly
be learning and
adapting.
It’s not uncommon to see groups of people huddled around a computer to work on a problem together. My greatest resource is my coworkers.
One of the best parts of working for nimblejack is being able to ask each other for help or best practices in an area where we are struggling. It always feels like a team effort on any project because everyone is happy to help!
It means taking time to witness what others are working on, sharing insights or past experiences and being open minded to helpful suggestions.

PAY CLOSE
ATTENTION TO
EVERY DETAIL
2
We value finding a better way for everything we do. Often,
the ability to make a difference is in the small things—the
details. It’s the responsibility of everyone to improve upon
every process that we have, and every project that we touch.
Look for ways to make incremental improvements to turn
something from good to great. We have to be methodic,
meticulous and disciplined in our efforts to always get the
job done right and take our work to the next level.
Attention to detail is key!
The world of digital media is
the king of detail. One small
comma in your code or one
slight variation in segmenting
your audience could send your
email to the wrong people
which can cause a lot of fuss
and lost money. The team at
nimblejack definitely strives to
reduce these risks.
As the experts in this field, every detail matters. It’s making the last ten percent of a project perfect that sets us apart.
I am impressed every day by the amount of detail and quality our team provides our clients. The level of QA that we take on every project, large or small, is something I have never seen before.
Skipping detail reflects poorly on everyone, ruining reputations and opportunities. Focusing on even the smallest detail is what makes something great, brings real value, and is a rare trait.

BE RESPECTFUL,
PERSONABLE AND
HUMBLE IN OUR
RELATIONSHIPS
3
We value great and timely communication with our clients
and everyone we encounter. With positive and professional
attitudes, we aim to set the bar high for integrity and ethics
in our industry. Be ready to demonstrate thought leadership
while being respectful, compassionate and friendly. In every
interaction, we’re mindful of our character. In the long run,
that’s how we build trust in all our relationships.
We may not
always agree,
but, respectful
communication
to one another
is vital. Work as
a team and put
the ego aside.
The golden rule still applies, even at nimblejack. Living this value increases satisfaction among our team members, partners and clients.
Our business is only as valuable as the relationships we build, which is why we’re mindful of our actions in every interaction.
Respect and humility go hand and hand in an environment of learning. nimblejack promotes this environment because we are all both experts and novices at the different aspects of our jobs. Respect and humility are the cornerstones to being good teachers, good students, and a team.

KEEP SPEED IN
MIND AND AIM
TO INCREASE
EFFICIENCY
4
We value a sense of urgency. To ourselves and our clients,
time is our most valuable commodity. We have to be fast
enough for the modern world and work towards making
it all go even faster. Every second counts, and we aim to
please. From hitting deadlines to learning new skills or
adopting new processes, everything is fast-paced. Quick
action and getting things done right in a timely manner
creates results.
We live in a world
that gets faster
every day and
an industry that
gets faster every
second. To be great
at what we do, we
have to lace up the
spikes and sprint.
At every opportunity, take note of repetitive tasks that might be consolidated out of the daily equation.
We have started our own knowledge base to pool our resources together and not miss any detail of creating the perfect email. Every day, projects at nimblejack take less time and tricky issues are getting solved even faster.
We work in a fast-paced environment. Learning to work quickly and efficiently (while maintaining attention to detail) is what sets our level of service above our competitors.

WATCH FOR
MOMENTS TO
AMAZE OUR
CLIENTS
5
We value going above and beyond what’s expected to
create a delighted client. We differentiate ourselves
through the ease of our working relationships. We strive
to be available, respond quickly and be consultative. Even
more importantly, we look for ways to show how much we
care. Through a willingness to help clients and go the extra
mile, we maintain and build stronger relationships.
We are passionate
about delivering
the best results
to impress our
clients. We believe
they should have
the best of what
we can offer.
We build solid relationships with clients by constantly communicating with them throughout campaigns, and by striving for perfection until everyone is beyond satisfied.
Look for ways to shine. If that means donning a figure skater outfit and flapping your arms like Prince, then do it. The nimblejack team’s knowledge and experience is always evident on our jobs. nimblejack goes above and beyond to provide best practices and consulting to each project to assure our clients get the best results from their projects.

take initiative to help our company grow. We are inspired by

we do has an impact on the future. Building our business is
a fun adventure, and we expect everyone to commit to our

We all have unique ideas and talents. We have to bring those to the table every day if we’re going to build something great and make the company successful.

LET OUR PASSION
SHINE AND
EMBRACE THE FUN
IN OUR WORK
7
We value having fun. We work hard and have to solve
complex challenges everyday, but that doesn’t mean we
need to be stuffy or boring. Our environment is casual
and friendly. Sometimes, it’s downright goofy. We embrace
that and don’t take ourselves too seriously. We love our
company, and our clients and partners. We’re passionate and
take pride in what we do, and we laugh and enjoy ourselves
while doing it.
Whether it’s pizza
parties or nerf gun
wars, we’re always
up for a good time!
Even though we work hard doesn’t mean we have to suffocate with boredom. Have fun in our environment and what we do; laugh and be goofy. It’s the best therapy for our minds and souls.
Starting each interaction with happiness and excitement while being able to laugh at ourselves. Sharing our various interests from music, food or incorporating a quick walk around the block to keep our upbeat attitudes.
After working in a career for 13 years that continually became worse and worse, I am so excited to work in a job that I’m extremely passionate for and for a company that I can’t stop telling my friends and family about.
