an empowered, people-first agency culture

Happy people naturally want to do their best work - so we go to lengths to build an environment that empowers that.

This is why we’ve taken the time to define expectations across the board, whether that be day-to-day operations for our team, internal ways of working, or what our clients can expect from us.

The result is four clear pillars that shape life at our agency. Simple to understand, easy to live by, and powerful in practice, they are: Authentic, Idea Driven, Curious, and Thriving.

If this sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you.

The wall behind them displays the words 'DEMOCRACY WE SUPER-CHARGE CHALLENGER BRANDS' in pink and purple. The women are smiling and engaging in conversation, with various office supplies and laptops on the table.

AUTHENTIC

At Democracy we create a safe and supportive environment where everyone can show up fully, for themselves, each other, and our clients.

We believe that authenticity builds trust, accountability, and connection. We invest equal energy in developing ourselves, our relationships and our work.

CURIOUS

Curiosity drives continuous learning, experimentation, and creative problem-solving. By exploring new platforms, testing fresh ideas, sharing discoveries, and embracing a “what if” mindset, we push boundaries for our clients. We value what we learn just as much as what succeeds - knowing that curiosity leads to better, braver solutions.

IDEA DRIVEN

Fresh, creative ideas drive everything we do. By dedicating time for proactive thinking, staying alert to timely opportunities, and using audience insights, we uncover what truly resonates.

We believe great ideas can come from anyone, anytime, and we create the space to explore, test, and bring them to life for our clients.

THRIVING

When individuals and teams grow, the whole company succeeds. We invest in personal development, supportive relationships, and a healthy work-life balance, while ensuring we have the right people, clients, and tools. By nurturing our minds, emotions, and bodies, we create an environment where everyone can do their best work and help Democracy flourish.
