Our way of life

Our behaviors embody the way we show up for each other, and our clients. If you can identify with these, you just might be right for us:

  • We listen more than we speak. We see conversation as a chance to discover and understand, not get a point across.
  • We’re at our best when we work together: with our clients, with our colleagues and with our partners.
  • We challenge convention in every aspect of our work. Creative describes how we act, not the department we sit in.

We seek solutions to problems and always find a way forward. We bring passion and positivity to every situation we encounter

At Wunderman Thompson, we are committed to actively building a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcomed, valued and heard, and is treated with dignity and respect.  As leaders and creative partners across industries, it is our responsibility to cultivate an environment reflective of our greatest asset; our people.
