Our Heritage - Creative Pioneer
From the start, DDB ads were different. Not just in how they looked or read. Performance was remarkable, too. There was wit. And craft. But mostly there was perception. That appealing to people's intelligence and sense of humor can be powerful. And the truth even more so, especially when it takes you by surprise. The phrase "creative revolution" began with us. And we remain creative pioneers.

Our Goal - Leader in the New Age
The new century calls for a new creative revolution. Once again, we must change the game. This time, going beyond intelligent ad making to the larger more complex task of brand building. Embracing all the new tools and skills required to build a client's brand. True to our heritage, we aspire to lead the new age by being different. More perceptive, more innovative, and more fun. But mostly by being more effective. Our goal is nothing less than to stand alone as our industry's unquestioned leader. The biggest and best among builders of brands.

Our Battle Cry - Better Ideas. Better Results.®
We exist to create change and we hold ideas accountable for tangible results. The transforming power of better ideas moves our clients and their brands to new and better places. We know that better ideas come from minds that work in many ways at once. Minds that listen carefully to clients, to consumers and to each other. Minds that devour every bit of available information then tear away all that is irrelevant to discover an insight from which springs an idea that can change the world.

The Key - Trusting Relationships
Our effectiveness depends on convincing our client partners to make bold leaps, which often require a leap of faith on their part. This means our ultimate success will depend on our ability to forge trusting relationships. Relationships characterized by trying to see every situation through client eyes. Relationships built by responding honestly and intelligently, and keeping our promises on time and within budget.

Our Values - Integrity, Diversity and Respect
We will be known everywhere as a company with character, guarding our reputation for integrity and fair play. We will win by telling the truth. By treating every individual with dignity and respect. Those who choose to join us will find ours a richly diverse and multicultural world. Full of entrepreneurial thinkers whose unique cultural and creative perspectives are celebrated and rewarded. Strong individuals bound to our network by a shared vision, common goals, and mutual regard.

Our Spirit - Unquenchable
The people of DDB are enthusiastic, with a zest for our business and a sense of humor with which to confront setback and rejection. We love what we do and we love doing it as a team. We believe in our work and take pride in it. But we understand the realities which often require us to try anew. We never give up. Through sheer persistence and heart, we will prevail.
