Values and purpose matter<\/h2>\n

I was thinking earlier that every business I know that is surviving and thriving in this crazy old world we\u2019re living in right now has crystal clear values and a well-defined purpose.<\/p>\n

No matter what the circumstances \u2013 and these are pretty unique ones right now \u2013 people working in these great companies know how to react and respond to each other because there\u2019s an expectation they\u2019ll live shared values and know their core purpose.<\/p>\n

Most were hired because their values and purposes have been clearly defined from the outset \u2013 so it\u2019s to be expected they will live and breathe them. That means they\u2019re suited to not just \u2018what\u2019 the business does, but also \u2018how\u2019 and \u2018why\u2019 it does it.<\/p>\n

Combined, clearly defined values and purpose provide the foundations for not only people\u2019s behaviours, but their daily actions too.<\/p>\n

Purpose-driven agency<\/h3>\n

Working with businesses like this gives us clarity as extensions of their teams. Clear values and purpose are useful not only to define what we do, but our ideas and the communications we deliver to support them \u2013 be it internal communications, strategic counsel, digital PR, great content, or social engagement and interactions.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s becoming obvious now that purpose matters more than it ever has. Lee and I probably took a while to truly understand the value of this for our own business and team, but we have this crystal clear in our minds for No Brainer now.<\/p>\n

Our purpose is: We create meaningful change.<\/strong> We do that for our clients, each other and the wider world.<\/p>\n

For our clients and prospects, this \u2018change\u2019 is often centred on solving problems \u2013 we help them change something that needs changing. That could be evolving their digital marketing, strengthening brand resonance in their core or target markets, or delivering new business and sales.<\/p>\n

For every client, the definition of what \u2018change\u2019 is will vary. But then so does our strategy. For each client we\u2019ll always nuance the way we activate our social media, content, marketing and digital PR activities. An out the box solution is firmly out the window in today\u2019s world.<\/p>\n

Change is inevitable and helping people adapt to it in their own worlds can be purposeful, but also profitable \u2013 for us and for them.<\/p>\n

Meaningful is also something we live by. It\u2019s easy for us to create vanity profile that looks great on or in a newspaper (who doesn\u2019t love a feature in a national newspaper or magazine?) \u2013 but is this having a meaningful impact on their teams and business? If it isn\u2019t, is the strategy right?<\/p>\n

For us, getting that right is central to everything \u2013 we want to show a return on investment through results and we work hard to align our work with the stuff that really matters for each and every client. That\u2019s always different, but always important.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the way we\u2019re WIRED<\/h3>\n

As for our core values, we used the brain and our location to define exactly \u2018how\u2019 we expect our team to be.<\/p>\n

Warrington, where we\u2019re based, is the home of wire-making. The human brain \u2013 the inspiration behind our \u2018Creative Intelligence\u2019 model \u2013 provides the wiring that helps each of us survive and thrive as individuals. WIRED stands for:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We, not I<\/h3>\n

This means we work with partners and collaborators, not paymasters. We are an extension of those people and companies who choose to put their faith in us.<\/p>\n

We strive for the greater good for each other \u2013 our team, clients and communities \u2013 not our own self-interests, and our team is everything. We win together, we celebrate together.<\/p>\n

Ideas people<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re renowned for being consistently proactive, always developing new and creative ideas and concepts for clients.<\/p>\n

We also explore innovation in our field, and we\u2019re prepared to push boundaries with new ideas that our clients and ourselves can learn from.<\/p>\n

Results-focused<\/h3>\n

We demand results \u2013 always. That means we deliver meaningful outcomes, not just outputs. We\u2019re left brain thinkers and we are constantly measuring our impact to prove ROI through our work.<\/p>\n

We bake measurement into our client experience from day one \u2013 they know we\u2019re measuring the stuff that matters and working with them to adapt our strategies with the power of this knowledge.<\/p>\n

Excellence as standard<\/h3>\n

We may not get everything perfect, every time, but we certainly aim to. We commit to exploring ours and our clients\u2019 markets constantly, so we can learn from those who are doing things differently to us.<\/p>\n

We work smartly and commit to excellence in all we do, and that means we have routines and processes that give us the best shot at achieving the highest standards.<\/p>\n

Do the right thing<\/h3>\n

For us, reputation outweighs profit, every time. We don\u2019t talk down to each other \u2013 we respect each other as equals, and that includes our clients, suppliers, partners\u2026 Everyone.<\/p>\n

We want to ensure we\u2019re giving back as much as we\u2019re gaining, so we will always aim to help those that need guidance and support from us.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re approachable and supportive \u2013 whether that\u2019s to fellow PR, social media and marketing experts, businesses, clients, prospects and anyone else.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your purpose?<\/h3>\n

Let us know what your values and purpose are? We\u2019d love to hear about how you\u2019re living these or putting them at the centre of your own business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
