We are champions of positive dissatisfaction. Dissatisfied with the way it's always been, with handcuffs and limits and rules, with insights that aren't insightful, and with creative that doesn't make you feel. We believe dissatisfaction is the mother of reinvention. That's why our mascot is the octopus. It's the only organism on the planet that routinely edits its own genetic material to adapt, innovate, and thrive. It outsmarts the competition by constantly changing.
