Our Culture and Our Values:

  • Innovation and Creativity – It is imperative that we continuously evolve our organization and our service offerings to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing environment. Creativity in every facet of our work drives that innovation.
  • Intellectual Curiosity – We value smart, intellectually curious people who are constantly striving to expand and deepen their knowledge beyond the superficial, and who apply the highest possible level of sophistication to the work we do for our clients.
  • Risk Taking – We understand that risk and accountability are essential components of creativity and innovation. We encourage prudent risk taking, where the potential rewards are commensurate with the level of risk and where the risk itself is fully understood. We hold our team members accountable for their actions and handle risk together.
  • Passion – There is no substitute for passionate people who share a common purpose. Our people are dedicated to the mission of our firm and the goals of our clients. Passionate people elevate one another and lead to a fun and collaborative work environment that is personally and professionally rewarding.
  • Ambition – We are driven to succeed and have fun doing it! We set a high standard for our firm, and we continuously raise the bar on our own performance.
  • Collaboration – We believe that none of us is as good individually as the greatness we can create together. We value the individual, but we celebrate the achievements of the team. As a firm on the leading edge of marketing and communications, collaboration is critical to continuous improvement and innovation.
  • Candor – We value straight talk among ourselves and with our clients. We know every member of our team wants to improve performance, and candid feedback is the most productive way to facilitate this journey. But, candor is only successful in an environment of mutual respect as each party must be willing to consider feedback. This is the environment that we cultivate at PulsePoint.
  • Analytics –We value the empirical knowledge and quantitative research in which that creativity must be grounded. We value people who are as comfortable with numbers as they are with concepts – people who can identify patterns that offer unique insights to client challenges.
  • Clear and Persuasive Expression – Communication is at the core of everything we do. Clear and persuasive expression, oral and written, across a wide variety of media and platforms, and across the full spectrum of settings from formal to informal, from intimate group to mass audience, is essential.
