Bottle beliefs, values and culture
Because we believe in…
-
We like analysis, but not analysis-paralysis.
Whether it’s new clients, or media opps, we can’t always just rely on the tried-and-tested comfort-zones.
We’re quick learners, we’re pretty nippy, and we’ll seize the moment, because the element of surprise brings the element of delight.
-
When we’re bonded, like a family, like a team – we look out for each other, support and defend each other, we pick-up on the times when one of us is struggling and we help them out.
That trust and care strengthens us, so that we can be honest with each other and know that it’s coming from a good place.
We don’t whisper and mutter, because that is the sound of distrust.
-
We’re pretty lucky, and we like to take our good fortune and pass it onwards, to others who maybe could do with a boost.
Being generous, with our words, with our actions, with our knowledge, with our support, without expecting a payback, other than enjoying being generous.
Sure, what goes around comes around, but we’re not keeping score.
-
If we were more tech-y, we’d say ‘we’re always in beta’, because there’s always more improvement to make.
We’re restless with the status quo, and even though new things need a little soak-time to get embedded, there’s something else we can turn our attention to, to make better.
We want a culture that’s…
-
Keep the feel electric. Bring all our energy, especially when we see some of us flagging.
When you want something done, give it to a busy person…we want to create a vibe that tingles.
There’s always something new to try, to learn, and when it feels buzzy it’s infectious.
-
Each and every one of us brings talents, skills, enthusiasms and oodles of potential.
We want to be the broadest of broad churches, where we can each grow and release our specialisms, and we join these together to make a super-strong Bottle.
Super-strong because we recognize and admire each others’ strengths, and add them onto our own.
-
This Bottle brims-over with the big ups, we’re famous for splashin’ of a dash of the passion when others do well.
Emojis let fly, bells ding, sometimes when the upping is so big we take a trip to the Bottle Bank ‘cos someone has unlocked a new level.
-
Always improving means we have to be comfortable with uncomfortable, and with someone else seeing a new way of doing something.
This challenge is the grit in the oyster that makes a pearl.
So we each want to be…
-
Quick reactions, unafraid to capture the moment – catching lightning in (a) Bottle is…well, Eminem said it best:
Shit, I feel like I can do anything now
Who can catch lightning in a bottle, set fire to water
Comin' out the nozzle on a fire hose, flyer than swatters?
Smash an hourglass, grab the sand, take his hands and cup 'em
Spit a rhyme to freeze a clock, take the hands of time and cuff 'em
-
We chase the link, look for the chances to connect with each other.
We have a laugh, together, because those are the times when we forge the bonds, that see us through the tougher times.
We tip our hat to the talents of others – some of their skills we try to learn, others we just brief them well, let them soar, and enjoy the ride on their coat-tails.
-
Look for every chance to rally the shout-outs and share the successes, because it’s infectious and there’s nothing easier than passing-on a cheer, and nothing better than feeling the lift it gives.
We lead the cheer for our clients’ brands too, we feel a one-team pride in the wonderful work we do.
-
We don’t wait to be asked - we look for the things that could be simplified, we have a go, and then we tell the rest. That way we have even more time and energy to be…
- moreish; add more, betterness, over-reach and go further, because the value-bar gets raised.
And the result….we’re all – collectively and individually - #simplymoreish
