7Summits: Our Values Define Us.
Our talent is the cornerstone of our clients’ satisfaction. Social media is new stuff and it takes the wisdom of marketing strategy combined with practical experience in these new venues to deliver the results you need.
Our culture is founded on integrity, agility, passion, experience and resourcefulness and openness. These six values tell you a lot about what’s going on at 7Summits:
Integrity. This is our very nature. We promise to tell it like it is. When there’s a problem, you’ll hear it from us first; but you’ll hear solutions that can work at the same time. We’ll never over sell and we always over deliver. And you know what? You won’t see us slapping your brand around for our own benefit without permission to celebrate the work we do for you. We use case studies and Wordles to show that we’re good; that, combined with expert knowledge of our craft, is all we need to get our next gig.
Agility. We are a small agency, and with that comes speed. And that’s not because we lack process. We’ll still be fast even as we grow. Why? We ascribe to agile methods. To us, this means getting to execution sooner rather than later and then measuring, nurturing and adjusting to get the affect we set out for. No more laborious development cycles – that’s not what social media is about – and that’s perfect for us and you!
Passion. Things get done when people love to do them. We love what we do! That’s why you’ll find us awake into the wee hours checking out new ways to engage your audience get them involved with your brand. We just can’t sleep when we’re focused on taking the mountain! We’re committed to work tirelessly as we guide our clients to apply social media where it makes the most sense for their business.
Experience. We celebrate great talent experienced in our craft. If you know some, send them our way - we’d like to meet them. We also live in an environment that fosters continuous learning. We’re constantly walking the path of newly evolving social media and its applications for business so that others can follow.
Resourcefulness. We’re a bunch of creative technologists and technology-impassioned creatives – yes, it’s all converging – and we pride ourselves on using what’s available to get a great result. Yeah, we’re talking McGiver here!
Openness. We share our ideas openly because we know that “the wisdom of crowds” will make them better. That’s why you see some of our best thought and frameworks shared right here. Go ahead and take a look. We’d love to hear back from you on how to improve them. We’re off working on the next thing and we’ll share that when it’s ready too.
Our Logo. What you see is a geometric, yet organic form: unique and intriguing. It has a sense of energy and motion. It has sweeping curves that wrap endlessly around the figure. The energy is infinite, locked on a continuous path or journey. It looks flexible in nature, signifying the ability to transform and fit to any need necessary. The path created represents the infinite solutions and possibilities present in any interactive environment. Despite the sense of energy and flexibility–the logo still maintains the sense of strength and stability of a mountain. The varying light gradient not only helps depict the snow covered peaks, but also gives the logo a sense of depth and dimension. So our logo represents infinite solutions, lasting energy, and the strength, stability and wisdom of 7 Summits.
Our Name.
7Summits is named for the highest mountain summits on our seven continents: these seven Summits represent our team's resourcefulness and ability to reach a goal; they reflect our desire to help our clients reach new heights, wherever the are; and they remind us that social media enables us to be global in nature, even though our digs are right here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
