WHAT LIFE IS LIKE AT +61

Our ambition is to create work that’s hard to ignore.

We aim higher and care harder.

We embrace four shared values across the partnership.

• UNCOMMON DECENCY. Having deep respect for each other and the value we both bring. The importance of placing empathy over opinion. Feedback goes both ways and decency is our compass.
• LET THE CHAOS IN. Order is the enemy of originality. In the outside world there is beauty and complexity. A profound understanding of culture will fuel the best work if we let it in.
• NOTHING HIDDEN. Openness and transparency will build trust. A culture where everyone feels brave enough to say anything. No hidden agendas, because you can’t manage secrets.
• POSITIVELY PROVOCATIVE. If our relationship isn’t provocative, it isn’t very deep, lasting or compelling. We want to invite debate, because if we don’t provoke one another, we’ll quickly become familiar and stale.
