Values &
Culture
01
Purpose-driven work
Beyond our creative achievements, Hunt Lascaris is committed to making a positive impact on society. We believe that brands have a responsibility to use their platforms for good. Through our work, we’ve supported various social and environmental causes, empowering communities and promoting sustainable practices.
02
Growth
We make sure our talent grows and soars through programmes such as Sea Legs, Tiger Academy, Master Gunners, Wright Academy, and Up and Out. We give talent access to online training on D\Learn, Knowledge Hub, TBWA\ University, and GLP (Global Learning Platform). We also encourage our staff to participate in any judging opportunities.
03
Disruptive thinking
We double-down on disruption. If you’re not disrupting, you’re conforming. If you’re conforming, you’re going unnoticed. We want our clients’ brands to be noticed, to have a role in people’s lives, to make all of the other brands in the category ‘me too’. So we disrupt.
We won't rest until it's iconic.
