OUR VALUES

85 Icons-Lightbulb
ACUTE AWARENESS

The 85 team values curiosity. This means we constantly want to be “in the know”. Current affairs, best media channels, zeitgeist, etc.
We believe that awareness of our surroundings makes our work resonate through unequivocal relevance.

85 Icons-Floating
BOLD BUOYANCE

Staying afloat amidst creative block, negative feedback, and just not cracking the strategic platform can be demotivating. The 85 team is built on the belief that you rest, reflect, recuperate and restart. Our buoyance is driven by our boldness!

85 Icons-Certainty
COMMANDING CERTAINTY

We are experts in our field. When we present any idea, strategic direction, or information, it is backed up by meticulous detail and commanding certainty. We don’t do “maybes” or “we’re not sure”… By the time we release it, we’re certain of it!
