We strive to create an inclusive environment for all of our team members and encourage meaningful dialogue – 1,000 small conversations – in hopes of leading our organization on a path towards meaningful and measurable change and creating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive world. Last quarter, our dedicated team of DEI Champions at Saxum distributed our first survey to measure the agency’s DEI initiatives and gather demographic and psychographic data to establish a baseline as our agency continues to grow. Before your organization develops a survey, we encourage you to review the guide and if a survey is something you are ready to pursue, consider adding questions that are important to your culture. Our quarterly survey helps us identify the areas where we can focus more resources and continue our work to realize our vision of ONE Saxum, where our employees, clients and friends of the agency always feel welcome and a great sense of belonging.

I am extremely excited about this opportunity to build on Saxum’s and VI’s reputation to create a highly differentiated agency, with superior talent, an integrated digital-first culture and a focus on issues that our clients and the world need to solve,” said C. Renzi Stone, Saxum Chairman and CEO. We will leverage our long-term personal and professional relationships to grow our business, while remaining focused on providing unmatched client services, capabilities and products that truly add value and drive results for our clients.” Following closing of the transaction, which is expected by year-end 2020, Stone will serve as Chairman and CEO of the new entity. The agency has been awarded more than 100 local Addy Awards, PRSA National Silver Anvil award, 12 national Telly Awards and a dozen Graphex awards. VI is a three-time winner of the Runkle Award, and received the CA global award, PRSA National Silver Anvil award, four AsChiat Day Awards for Strategy, and multiple AMA Marketinis Best of Shows for results.

As such, we focus a lot of our energy ensuring that we’re inclusive, that we live our values (Brave, Original, Lively, and Driven), and that we maintain an excellent culture. Our remote community allows us to find the best talent anywhere, without regard for where these team members call home. Social activities happen virtually, but together they find the best way to keep our culture alive from wherever they call home. They work from home some days, in a shared office space, or wherever they feel deeply connected to the cities they call home.

Our culture isn’t one of happenstance—we are intentionally committed to nurturing and protecting it. We Invest in Leadership Development through Giant Our partnership with Giant Worldwide gives us a common language and set of tools to help each of us “know yourself to lead yourself”. We protect our time to connect – ranging from Monday morning kickoffs, community events, quarterly all staff meetings in OKC to one-on-one mentoring sessions. We are a team of creative, diverse, and career-driven professionals who bring their passion to work every day.
