As an AMI Accredited Agency….
WE WILL TELL THE TRUTH: In the work we create on behalf of our clients, in all of our business practices and within our agency, we will be transparent, clear and upfront. We will disclose any biases, self-interests or business relationships that might cloud our ability to offer our best counsel. This also means we will stand up for what’s right and not be willing to compromise our ethics and values.
WE WILL HONOR OUR PROMISES: Whether it’s a verbal agreement, a written contract or something in between – our word is our bond. This means we don’t enter into agreements lightly but when we do, we honor them, even at the agency’s detriment. This is true for all our relationships – client, employee, vendor, community partner and professional colleague.
WE WILL HOLD CONFIDENCES UNCONDITIONALLY: In our work, clients, employees and consumers confide in us and trust that we will protect that information. We must honor that trust and protect those confidences unless it would be illegal or immoral to do so. We will hold our employees to this same standard. Breaching a client’s confidence should never be tolerated.
WE WILL KEEP LEARNING: Our business is continually reinventing itself as our culture shifts, grows and evolves. In the best interest of our clients, our employees, our agency and our industry – we must always be well informed, abreast of current business practices, cultural norms and emerging trends that pertain to ours and our clients’ industries.
WE WILL RUN OUR AGENCIES IN A FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE WAY: Our clients count on us to stay in business and to spend their money as we told them we would. Our employees rely on the agency to provide them with a reasonable wage so they can build their future, and we were willing to take the risk of owning a business – we should also expect to enjoy the rewards. By maintaining AMI’s fiscal best practices, we can fulfill all of these expectations.
WE WILL CARE FOR OUR CLIENTS’ ORGANIZATIONS AS IF IT WERE OUR OWN: There is no greater measure of success for an agency than their clients’ successes. If we work as hard on their behalf as we do for our own agency, the relationship will serve and celebrate us both.
WE WILL BE EMPLOYERS OF CHOICE – ATTRACTING THE BEST OF THE BEST: The level of talent we attract influences our clients’ success. To find and keep the most creative and strategic thinkers we will be a collaborative, vibrant and energizing place to work. We will encourage growth and exploration in every team member and give them opportunities to make significant contributions to our clients, our community and our agency.
WE WILL LEAVE OUR WORLD BETTER THAN WE FOUND IT: Agencies have the unique opportunity to help shape our communities, our profession and our little slice of this world. AMI agencies share our times and talents generously as a gesture of gratitude for our good fortune and our understanding that our impact should be bigger than just the work. Using our talents for a shared greater good and encouraging our colleagues to do the same is a legacy far longer lasting than any campaign for any individual client.
We are proud to be an Agency Management Institute Accredited Agency.
