Since the day SOCIALDEVIANT was founded in early 2012, we’ve been working hard to be the world’s kindest company. The best possible place to work.

Not because it’s trendy.

Not because it has an ROI.

Not because it drives retention of our talent.

Not because it drives our business efforts.

Not because it gives us recognition in the public domain.

But simply because it’s the right thing to do.

So many business leaders, pundits, and CEO’s have hopped on the kindness bandwagon.

Lots of memes. Ted talks. And flashy TikToks espousing the virtues of kindness.

But here’s the thing.

Kindness isn’t a fad.

It isn’t even something you launch a committee for.

It exists, or it doesn’t. You’re committed to it, or you’re not.

In 2020, when every other agency was laying off hundreds or thousands of people, SOCIALDEVIANT didn’t lay off a single person. Didn’t furlough a single person. Didn’t reduce a single person’s pay, for even one pay period.

We dedicated ourselves to our people. And lost money.

Because it was the right thing to do.

When the Publicis network bragged about “allowing” employees to work from anywhere in the world, we laughed. A self-administered work swap isn’t modern or new.

It’s out of touch.

At SOCIALDEVIANT our amazing folks can work from anywhere they please, 52 weeks a year.

Okay, well, not 52, because here we offer unlimited PTO/OOO.

Here, we treat talent as adults and with respect. We trust them, completely.

Here, we pay 100% of healthcare costs.

Here, we understand that a sick pet is more important than a client meeting.

Here, we over-commit to a diverse, inclusive, people-first environment. With a workforce that is way above the industry average for under-represented minorities. Check the numbers yourself.

Here, we have an amazing open loft that’s available to our team whenever they want or need it—along with our incredible production studio, All Oars—24-7.

It’s here so the team can decide when and how to use the space.

Not their managers. Them.

Through some of the toughest global economic years in recent memory, SOCIALDEVIANT has never been more productive. Never grown as fast. Never won as much new business. Never produced as much extraordinary work for clients.

Never attracted more amazing talent.

Here, our sense of culture, pride, and connection has never been more powerful.

It doesn’t matter where you get your work done, as long as you enjoy the work, are challenged by it, and are passionate about it. As long as your colleagues are smart, kind, and caring. As long as you’re seen, heard, invested in, and can operate in a safe and inclusive environment.

That’s what it means to be the best possible place to work.

That’s why our people are unstoppable and will produce genius as often as they are asked.

And it’s why we’re on course to crush our other goal: to be the best creative agency on the planet.
