“There are so many things, both tangible and intangible, that influence a company culture. The two that we spend our time and energy on are People and Purpose. The people part should be obvious but takes dedication and work to get right. 1. Hire passionate and talented people and invest in them. 2. For our company respect and kindness is critical. If you don't have both of these traits you won't last. 3. Only work with clients that share your values. When you get this right everything works in concert to amplify the culture you want,” said Joseph McDonald, Managing Partner and Head of Production at The Game Agency.
