DIVERSITY. EQUITY. INCLUSION.

WE GIVE A DAMN

SixSpeed is committed to building a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive place to think and make. Working with adventurous brands means being open to challenging both our clients and ourselves. That starts with an understanding that diversity in thought is essential to great work. Our culture is one where good-natured people are accepted, encouraged to learn, and free to bring forward all aspects of their identity.

IN OUR WORK, WE:

CHALLENGE ASSUMPTIONS. The best ideas ask why. It’s ok to be childish about it. Simple questions lead to provocative insights.

GO BEYOND CORE. Growth requires getting outside yourself and seeing beyond your core audience. Chances are there are lots of folks with shared mindsets that you’ve been missing.

BRING OUTSIDE IDEAS. Not all of us own mountain bikes or even hiking shoes, for that matter. But that’s a good thing. Ideas from the outside illuminate truths insiders take for granted.

BET ON YOURSELF.
