Our Values
Our values aren’t just words on a page. They shape how we collaborate with the military, defence, and space sectors to tell stories that truly matter. In industries where precision, trust, and credibility can define missions and shape perception, our values guide everything we do.
We Fearlessly push creative boundaries to find new ways of visualising advanced technologies and complex missions - while respecting the sensitivity, confidentiality, and responsibility that this sector demands. Innovation in defence and space requires courage; our creative approach mirrors that same spirit of exploration.
We are Uncompromising in our standards. Every detail, every frame, every fact must be right. Accuracy isn’t optional - it’s operational. We hold ourselves to the same standards of excellence our clients uphold in their engineering, strategy, and execution.
We are Curious - constantly asking “what if?” as we explore emerging technologies, formats, and ideas that keep communications mission-relevant and forward-looking. Curiosity fuels discovery, and in a world defined by change, we use it to help brands stay ahead of it.
And above all, we are Earnest. Defence, space, and security are human stories at their core - of people protecting, exploring, and achieving extraordinary things. We approach every project with honesty, empathy, and respect, ensuring that the narratives we craft are not only powerful, but principled and authentic.
These values matter because in military, defence, and space communication, the right story doesn’t just inform - it inspires confidence, strengthens alliances, and builds understanding. By holding true to our values, we ensure every piece of work is not only creative - but credible, strategic, and human.
