We are committed to supporting and uplifting Black culture and creating an inclusive workplace where all individuals are valued and supported. We actively seek out opportunities to partner with minority-owned businesses and support Black-led initiatives.
We are dedicated to creating a culture of transparency and communication that builds trust and fosters accountability, and we encourage open and constructive dialogue at all levels of the organization.

When we found out we didn’t qualify to promote a brand through an approved affiliate partner, Emily acted quickly with transparency to communicate with the affiliate platform and alert editorial. After she took over content curation and emails, she found a way to navigate the process and obtain assets by herself for a client contracted banner ad without the benefit of a staff member familiar with this task. Through identifying opportunities to cross-promote content between brands and inactive lists, she has been able to grow several brands/ list sizes in a short period of time — by over 100K subscribers.
