THE MORTAL CODE

What we do is important. So too is how we do it. That’s why we’ve written the Mortal Code, a set of principles and values that guides everything we do.

The five simple articles ensure we produce work we can be proud of, treat each other with respect, create an inclusive culture, get the very best out of individuals and have a positive impact on people and the planet.

ARTICLE #1

NO COMPROMISE

We live in a world of shortcuts and excuses where ‘good’ has often become ‘good enough’.

Well, sorry. We refuse to play ball.

We challenge the mediocre, stand against the bare minimum and laugh in the face of ‘could have done better’. We have a burning desire to build our reputation on the quality of the work we produce, and take the utmost pride in a job well done.

So be creative. Be persistent.
And keep reaching.

ARTICLE #2

LEAD BY EXAMPLE

In the pursuit of great work pressure often builds, stressful situations arise and egos can run wild.

We work double hard to avert this.

We understand the importance of how we interact and strive to lead by example. We treat everyone equally and with the utmost respect, lending support, questioning intelligently and challenging respectfully.

So act thoughtfully.
Because respect is contagious.

ARTICLE #3

BE YOURSELF

Society often applies pressure to look and act a certain way, celebrating those who follow the crowd.

We break this mould.

Our culture is nothing more or less than the grand total of each individual’s personalities and passions. We embrace differences, encourage individuality and believe a team of diverse, unique and spirited people will create more original, interesting and culturally relevant work.

So be you. Don't fit our culture.
Enhance it.

ARTICLE #4

STEP UP TO THE PLATE

It’s all too easy to become plagued by complex hierarchies and stifling procedures.

We embrace the opposite.

We champion smart, ambitious and spirited individuals who take risks and give things a go. We revel in autonomy, crave responsibility and make decisions swiftly and decisively.

So step up. Grab the bat.
And take a swing.

ARTICLE #5

SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE

We care deeply about the impact we have on both people and the planet.

It runs through our core.

We aim to inspire action, leaving the world a better place wherever we tread. We understand that even the smallest actions can make a big difference, we take happiness seriously and switch off after a hard day’s work.

So step back. Breathe.
And take it all in.
