AT THE ODMC PEOPLE WHO THRIVE ARE PEOPLE WHO:

• LOVE MAKING STUFF. We minimize layers so the team can spend more time doing rather than debating. And when were doing were handson our head of global design has been known to hand cut letters out of felt for a social media post.
• DONT NEED TO WAIT FOR DIRECTIONS. We tend to attract selfstarters and they find lots of opportunities to start something. Some of our most impactful work wasnt born out of a brief it was born out of an idea.

• SEEK COLLABORATION. The best work we do requires teamwork. Youre right the second and thirdbest work we do also requires teamwork. Thats not the point.
