Culture

Putting people first

We like to do things differently. We’re not afraid to take a few risks or suggest a new approach. Our people are different too. They’ve swapped big, corporate culture in favour of empowerment and individuality. We’ve inverted our management model to put our staff first. They don’t wait to be told what to do. They tell us what they need to get the job done.

Creating a ‘we’ culture

We’re about ‘we’ not ‘me’. We didn’t ask an agency or the CEO to come up with our brand values, we asked our staff. Which means the five values that our team voted “So Mezzo” are now our guiding principles.

We encourage people to give something back, too. Help colleagues. Teach, as well as learn. Give, as well as take. Share learnings. Support new starters. Get people together. It’s everyone’s job to make us a success.

Nurturing talent

Happy people means happy customers. That’s why we nurture talent, both in life and at work. Our exclusive personal and professional development course, Inside Out, helps our staff identify their motivators, strengths, long-term goals and how to achieve them.

Being bold

Corporate life can make us risk-averse with a “can’t do” mentality. At Mezzo Labs, it’s our job to challenge the status quo, ask why, and find another way. We might be a small company, but we have to be bold. We encourage everyone to stick their neck out and say what no one else wants to say.

Having fun

Above all, we have fun. We spend a lot of time at work, so let’s make sure we enjoy it. Celebrate a small ‘wow’ moment, plan a social event or use the tools of our trade to do something just for fun. It doesn’t matter. As long as it puts a smile on our faces.
