Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Fuel Us And Our Work

We believe that empowering people means consciously making space for and lifting diverse and historically marginalized voices inside our agency, with our clients, and in our community. We recognize and acknowledge the ongoing legacy of racism, discrimination, and other forms of oppression that have systematically marginalized and excluded groups of people because of their skin color, national origin, spiritual/religious beliefs, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, and more. Within our sphere of influence, we work to dismantle these systems and practices in how we approach our work with each other and our clients and partners.

We foster a culture of inclusivity, humility, and respect, encouraging and supporting employees as they bring their whole, authentic selves to our work. Our diverse and intersectional identities, perspectives and lived experience make us more creative, better problem-solvers, and stronger communicators — making our work more impactful, culturally sensitive, and accessible.

Our Cultural Canvas

While we are a fully remote agency, we do not let our physical distance hinder the development of close relationships amongst our team. We are focused and intentional in our efforts to create and maintain a healthy company culture and a sense of camaraderie between all our employees. We strive to transcend the borders of remote work through regular virtual events and our annual multi-day, in-person retreat that focuses on team building through fun, experiential, and learning activities.

At its core, the Cultural Canvas is who we are and who we strive to be at Rosica Communications. Our Cultural Canvas is used as an internal guide for how we function as an agency. We use it to help ensure that we practice what we preach. As such it is always evolving and changing with us. We regularly review and revise its components to ensure that the document remains a reflection of who we are as an agency.

The Cultural Canvas components include:

  • Our Company Values
  • Agency Differentiators and Essentials
  • Norms & Rules
  • How We Meet
  • Behaviors
  • Feedback
  • Decision Making
  • Psychological Safety
  • And How We Celebrate Together
