**Come be a Funatic**

We believe you won’t perform at your best if you’re not having fun. And you can’t have fun if you’re not performing. We believe that this creates the best client and agency relationships and is the best way to make great work.

We believe in respect, inclusivity, kindness, equity, and equality. We want to make a positive impact. We believe that collaboration is the fun part of being at work. We strive to create a culture in which “we” is more important than “me”.

Apart from loving terrible fun puns, we’re small and we’re growing - which means you’ll have a chance to make your mark and grow with us. We’re also 100% remote, and that might not appeal to everyone - but if you value flexibility, it’s perfect.
