We’re a collection of people with a simple mantra: do the right thing. That means being good to each other and our community. Having fun and giving back. Caring deeply about the work we do and the impact it can have.
We have the opportunity to make positive change, and we’re not about to waste it. It’s what makes Ologie, Ologie.
There are still many ways for us to step up to move toward equity and inclusion in our organization, our community, our industry, and our nation. As a company, our social justice collective has been charged with making change to be better listeners, allies, and advocates for our black and brown community. We are committed to doing this work, with diligence and humility, to help move the world forward and bring about permanent change.
Each year, we select two local non-profits and build them two new brands in two days. We call it Brand Camp. It’s an all-hands-on-deck initiative where every Ologist rolls up their sleeves to build two deserving organizations new logos, websites, marketing collateral and videos to help promote their cause.
In 2011 Ologie created the McCanney Fund in honor of a former employee who lost her battle with cancer. To date, we’ve donated more than $100,000 to events or causes that were important to Kim, including animals and their welfare and safety, causes related to the cure for cancer, empowerment of women and girls, things important to the culture at Ologie.
We believe in community. We work hard to support the community that we’ve called home for more than three decades. Whether it’s hosting powerful movie screenings and panels to discuss the state of education, painting murals to inspire those in underserved areas, or donating to local food pantries, we are all in.
Our company’s values are a reflection of the type of person we want to work with. Be a Good Human, Invest and Celebrate, All In, and Simple is Smart.
Embracing these values, we are proud of the community we have within our walls and with our teams. Cocktails in our in-house bar, chili cook-offs, karaoke parties to celebrate new dads, making wreaths for our moms on Mother’s Day, or celebrating Pride – we love a good get together.
We commit, all the time. We keep standards high. And we always deliver on our promise to create compelling, effective work for our clients.
We show respect in everything. We care deeply. We have a heartfelt desire to always do what’s right, even when it’s difficult.
We create clarity in everything we do. We reduce inefficiencies and eliminate clutter. The more thoughtful we can be, the simpler the result.
We bring out the best in others. We are genuine and grateful, taking extra steps to show coworkers and clients that we value them.
