Divas for Good

Certain intense, black turtleneck-
wearing, fit-pitching personas have made "diva" a dirty word in the design business. We're sorry about that and we're on a mission to redefine the term. Why? Because we think you deserve all the intensity* we can bring to your work -- minus those embarassingly arrogant attitudes.

Our portfolio is positively stuffed with brilliant work, but you won't find a single stuffed shirt on our staff. We've proven it's possible to produce seriously good work for our clients without taking ourselves too seriously.

When it comes to deadlines, budgets and overall accountability, we're as buttoned up (or is it down?) as can be. We're also quite passionate about strategy and creative, because whether it's developing a brand promise, building consumer loyalty or creating a buzz, our job is to get people excited about your business.
If we're not fired up, we can't expect anyone else to be, now can we?

*Acceptable diva-esque behavior at Goods includes: obsessing over copy (there's gotta be a more powerful word than "the"), coming in early/staying late to make the timeline... pushing ourselves and everyone around us for more and better ways to help your brand break out of the herd ... doing whole-office "respect knuckles" when your sales go up...
