You're Hired

Brave Looks Good On You. If you’re reading this that means you’re part of the family. Welcome to a fresh outlook on ‘work’. The entire team is super excited that you’re here because you’re one of us now and you’ve earned it. That really just means you can stop paying for your coffee and snacks.

As a fast-growing digital product design company, we’re here to build, grow, and refine companies through results-driven strategy, design, and technology. You can’t do any of that if you don’t even know where the bathroom is so we’ve created this onboarding resource with you in mind. As you explore these pages, you'll pick up valuable information about getting started, our company values and philosophy, what clients you can expect to create for, how to navigate our space, your fellow teammates, and other essentials.

Brave Fun Facts

Brave is self-funded. We haven’t ever brought in outside financing. Since our earliest days this has been incredibly important in providing freedom to shape the company and its business practices.

We're more than a creative company. We began our existence as a pretty typical brand and graphic design shop. And we still pay close attention to brand strategy but these days our focus is on building branded interfaces for people to use, love, and re-use. 

One of the most unique aspects about working at Brave having direct access to our exciting new venture, Brave Haus — a curated coworking brand and accelerator. We’ve invited some of Tampa’s most talented creatives to share space with us and the results have been incredible.

Culture & Values

Culture is currency around here. It's one of our most valuable assets. You’ll find that our tight-knit crew partakes in its fair share of festivities: superhero movies, game nights, holiday parties, happy hours, potlucks, and even amateur beat-boxing competitions. In fact, there’s always something going on around here, and it can flood your FOMO. 

While we hope that you fall in love with our culture and your work, we brought you aboard because we believe you embody our 4 core values below.

01  

Purpose

Our aim with every partnership is to identify and elevate the highest truth of the brands we work with. We don’t just want to work with people who need what we have, we want to work with people who believe what we believe.

02 

Collaboration

The best things are made together. We work in teams that push and pull and challenge each other to create the experiences that inspire action, whether that be laughing, crying or buying.

03  

Context

Creating products that solve a unique business problem requires a deep and wide understanding of the who, where, how, and why of a brand. This is the filter we create through to ensure that our results are not only beautiful but measurable.

04

Trust

Every strong relationship hinges on an ability to suspend the disbelief of uncharted territory and dive head first into the depths that draw us. Trust is the wide open canvas for raw creativity to take shape.

Guiding Principles

Need more actionable principles to apply to your time at Brave? We got you:

1. This is your company too. Take extreme ownership.

2. Challenge assumptions, respectfully.

3. Automate everything that can be automated. Make process for everything that can’t.

4. Think first, then execute. You play like you practice.

5. Communicate until it hurts: with clients and each other.

6. Iterate more. Fewer presentations. No big reveals.

7. ‘Done’ is better than perfect. Ship it!

Employee Handbook

The dirty details have to be stored somewhere. We keep them in a Google Doc for the world to see. Even better, it’s digital so you can ⌘+F whatever you’re looking for.
