Our Values
At Animalz, our values guide how we show up for our customers, our teammates, and the content we create. We're looking for team members who embody these principles and want to grow within them.
- Value Over Vanity: We measure our success in customer impact, not surface-level praise. We focus on content that drives sustainable, long-term results by understanding and serving our customers' customers.
- Two Steps Ahead: Great work anticipates needs before they arise. We're proactive and strategic, always looking for ways to solve problems before they become blockers.
- Power Source; Not Power Trip: We lead through service, not authority. We energize our teammates and customers, convert obstacles into momentum, and focus on elevating others.
- Pursue Mastery: We believe great work comes from deliberate practice, open collaboration, and constant curiosity. We're always learning, evolving, and testing new approaches.
- Left Brain, Right Brain, Robot Brain: Our best work blends creativity, analysis, and smart use of technology—including AI—to drive meaningful outcomes without sacrificing humanity or voice.
- In the Arena: We're not spectators. We experiment boldly, contribute to thought leadership, and stay immersed in our customers' industries so we can lead from experience, not theory.
